Dekkersvlei Vineyards has always carried a certain magic during the summer months. Long, sunlit afternoons drift into golden evenings, the Paarl winelands hum quietly in the background, and each glass poured carries stories far older than the vines themselves. This season, that familiar sense of ease is joined by something new.
We’re delighted to introduce our gourmet wood-fired pizza menu – thoughtfully crafted, rooted in Dekkersvlei’s heritage, and designed to pair seamlessly with our wines. It’s a natural extension of vineyard living, turning relaxed summer dining into an experience that lingers long after the last slice.
Wine and Pizza at Dekkersvlei Vineyards
Every pizza at Dekkersvlei begins with the same intention: fresh ingredients, balanced flavours, and a strong connection to the land. All pizzas are topped with mozzarella, available in vegetarian options, and can be customised with fresh chillies or jalapeños for those who like a little extra heat.
Whether you’re joining us for a late breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or a golden-hour glass of wine, there’s a pizza for every moment.
Morning Glory: A Vineyard Brunch Favourite
Perfect for slow mornings, the Morning Glory brings comfort and freshness together. Scrambled eggs, bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, peppers and feta are finished with fresh rocket and a light sprinkle of Parmesan. It’s indulgent without being heavy – ideal alongside a coffee, fresh juice, or even a chilled glass of White Pinotage.
Focaccia Starters
Simple, rustic and made for sharing, our focaccia offerings set the tone:
- Dekkersvlei Focaccia 1 – Garlic, feta and olives on an olive oil base
- Dekkersvlei Focaccia 2 – Classic mozzarella on an olive oil base
These starters are perfect as a prelude to the main event, or as a light bite enjoyed between tastings.
Signature Pizzas
Dekkersvlei’s signature pizzas are where the menu truly comes alive, each one drawing inspiration from our wines, winemaking traditions and South African flavours.
The Winelands Lox
A White Pinotage–infused cream cheese base topped with red onion, feta, avocado, fresh rocket and smoked salmon. Elegant, fresh and unmistakably Dekkersvlei.
Fig & Blue Symphony
Crispy bacon bits and blue cheese meet preserved figs for a rich, balanced flavour profile that pairs beautifully with our reds.
Pinotage Garden Bianca
A celebration of the vineyard garden: Pinotage onion relish, roasted butternut, mushrooms, olives, feta and cocktail tomatoes, finished with chillies, glazed cashew nuts and fresh rocket.
Tuscan Farmer’s Feast
Smoked BBQ chicken, mushrooms, feta, peppadews and cherry tomatoes, topped with fresh coriander and a ranch drizzle – hearty, comforting and full of flavour.
Battonage Crème
Butter chicken, Greek yoghurt and sundried tomatoes, lifted with fresh coriander. A gentle nod to texture and technique, just like its winemaking namesake.
The Karoo Royale
Springbok carpaccio, cherry tomatoes and caramelised onions, finished with fresh rocket and Parmesan. Refined, bold and deeply South African.
The Greek Karoo
Pulled roast lamb with rosemary, Pinotage onion relish, Greek yoghurt, parsley and a tzatziki drizzle – a fusion of cultures that feels perfectly at home on the farm.
The Heritage
Biltong, buffalo mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and basil pesto, topped with avo and balsamic glaze. A tribute to tradition, reimagined.
Brisket Barrelhouse / Burgundy Barrelhouse
Honey-glazed beef ribs with peppadews, cherry tomatoes and feta, finished with guacamole. Big flavours, best enjoyed slowly.
Wildfire
Salami, black olives, feta, caramelised onion and mushrooms, brought together with a fresh chilli salsa for a gentle kick.
The Harvest
A playful combination of banana, bacon, feta and pineapple – unexpected, nostalgic and surprisingly balanced.
Dessert: The Bonfire
No vineyard feast is complete without dessert. The Bonfire is pure indulgence: Nutella, chocolate, marshmallows and biscuits, melted together into a warm, shareable finish that’s especially popular with younger guests – and adults who know better but order it anyway.
