Vendôme Wine Estate: Le Roux farm, Salmon & Brine, manor stay—appointment tasting

Vendôme Wine Estate sits in the Paarl valley on Arboretum Avenue, Paarl, a working wine and fruit farm with Huguenot-era roots the estate dates to about 1690 (Wine in the Cape cites Le Roux brothers Jean and Gabriel from 1692). Official site: vendome.co.za. The 1898 Cape Dutch manor has been renovated for guest stays; on the same farm, Salmon & Brine (Vendôme Restaurant trading as Salmon & Brine) serves seafood, sushi, and Japanese fusion. Wine tasting is marketed as bespoke / by appointment—not a published walk-in flight board. Disambiguate carefully from Kaapse Familie Wingerde, a multi-family Boland brand collective that includes the Le Roux family of Vendôme: this page covers Vendôme Wine Estate’s own cellar-door, restaurant, and manor offering only.

Directory metadata sometimes blanks the website field; live vendome.co.za pages confirm restaurant hours, manor rooms, and estate contacts used below. Use those pages—not older directory blurbs alone—when deciding whether to book tasting, dinner, or both on the same day.

Family heritage and boutique cellar

Ten generations of Le Roux farming narrative run through Wine in the Cape and estate copy: grapes, community ties, and a boutique cellar producing a small Vendôme range. Directory wine mentions commonly include Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and related lines (e.g. Mooi Nooi Sauvignon Blanc / Rooidans on tertiary listings)—ask which bottles are open when you book. Fruit trees (plum, peach) share the landscape with vines, reinforcing the working-farm setting around the restaurant courtyard.

Southern Paarl positioning places Vendôme closer to town amenities than remote Agter-Paarl farms—useful for travellers who want tasting-plus-dinner without long evening drives.

Wine tasting by appointment

Official pages emphasise Enjoy Vendôme Wines and wine sales at the manor, but do not publish a named flight list or tasting fee (research October 2026). Wine in the Cape and SA-Venues describe wine tasting by appointment. Directory hours conflict across sources (some list broad Tue–Sun windows; SA-Venues historically weekday mornings / weekend appointment)—prefer appointment booking over assuming walk-ins.

Estate contacts (official):

  • General: info@vendome.co.za · 067 717 4058
  • Also cited on directories: +27 21 863 3905
  • Reservations (manor): reservations@vendome.co.za · WhatsApp 067 717 4058 · manager@vendome.co.za

Ask for tasting duration, cost, maximum group size, and whether tasting can precede lunch at Salmon & Brine on the same booking thread.

Salmon & Brine restaurant (verified)

Official restaurant page: family-owned Seafood | Sushi | Japanese Fusion on Vendôme Wine Farm in Southern Paarl, courtyard dining and winter fireplaces, kids’ outside play area, vegan/vegetarian options, sit-down plus takeaways/deliveries and functions. Owner Cameron Stewart (Cape Town restaurant background) is named on the page.

Hours (official):

  • Monday–Saturday 11:30–21:00
  • Sunday 11:30–16:00

Book: 064 681 8464 · salmonandbrine.co.za

This is the reliable public daytime/evening reason to visit even when tasting is appointment-gated. Pair Vendôme wines from the list where available, and confirm kids’ play-area supervision expectations with the restaurant.

Vendôme Manor House stay

Official accommodation: five ensuite double rooms named Cabernet, Shiraz, Malbec, Pinotage, and Merlot, plus lounge, TV room, dining/breakfast rooms, kitchen, stoep, pool, braai, and wine sales. No children under 12. Buffet breakfast on request. Deposit and cancellation rules are published on the accommodation page (full prepayment; tiered forfeiture windows). The manor is a short stroll from Salmon & Brine and convenient to Paarl main road, shopping, and nearby golf (distances published on the accommodation page).

Room notes from the official page include interlocking Cabernet/Shiraz doors for connected stays and a Merlot private lounge/sleeping couch option—confirm configurations when booking.

Weddings and functions

Wine in the Cape notes multiple venue areas for weddings and special occasions; the restaurant also caters functions. Confirm packages directly with estate contacts—do not invent capacity or pricing here.

Disambiguation: Kaapse Familie Wingerde

Kaapse Familie Wingerde groups Boland families (Le Roux, Loubser, De Waal) and historically shares contact threads with Vendôme. Portal users searching “Vendôme” may land on collective brand pages or the same phone numbers. For this farm_id (paarl-vendome), stick to vendome.co.za experiences: appointment tasting of Vendôme wines, Salmon & Brine, and Manor House. Treat Kaapse Familie Wingerde as a separate listing elsewhere in the portal rather than merging visitor packages.

Practical Paarl day plan

1. Book tasting via info@vendome.co.za / 067 717 4058. 2. Reserve Salmon & Brine separately if dining. 3. Use the manor for overnight Boland base (adults-oriented policy). 4. Confirm tasting fees—unpublished on official pages. 5. Arrive via Arboretum Avenue; allow time for farm roads and courtyard parking cues from staff. 6. If travelling with children under 12, plan restaurant visits rather than manor overnight stays.

Visiting with kids

Possible with kids. About 47 min from Cape Town. Suited to toddlers, tweens.

Play areaLawnsCasual food

  • outdoor play area

Vendôme Wine Estate is a low-key option for families who mainly want a good meal. The draw for parents with little ones is Salmon & Brine, the seafood restaurant on the farm, which has an outside play area for little ones alongside courtyard and garden seating. Beyond that, there’s little dedicated kids’ infrastructure — no kids’ menu, kids’ tasting or activities were verified — so think of it as a restaurant stop rather than a full family outing. Salmon & Brine is open Mon–Sat 11:30–21:00 and Sun 11:30–16:00. Wine tasting is by appointment only, and booking is advised. If you plan to stay over, confirm the accommodation policy first: Manor House pages have historically noted no children under 12.

Before you go

  • Book ahead, especially on weekends and in school holidays.
Is there somewhere for kids to play?

Yes — Salmon & Brine has an outside play area for little ones.

Can we just walk in for a tasting?

No — wine tasting at Vendôme is by appointment.

Can children stay at the Manor House?

Accommodation pages have historically noted no children under 12 — confirm the stay policy before booking.
