A taste of 30 years, served canapé style.

For our 30th birthday celebration, some of 96 Winery Road’s much-loved flavours made their way through the crowd in the most delicious way — bite-sized, beautifully prepared and full of nostalgia.

From the first tray to the final plate, it was a celebration of the food, memories and classic 96 favourites that have kept guests coming back for three decades.

Behind every beautiful plate, every perfectly poured glass and every warm 96 moment, there is a team who brings it all to life.

Our 30th birthday celebration was a true showcase of the people behind the scenes — the chefs by the fires, the hands adding the final touches, the staff welcoming guests, pouring wine, sharing stories and keeping the day flowing with that familiar 96 warmth.

To our incredible team, thank you for making the day feel effortless, generous and full of heart.

Thirty years of stories, shared plates, familiar faces and unforgettable moments.

Our 30th birthday celebration was everything 96 Winery Road has always been about — good food, good wine, warm speeches, laughter, memories and the people who have made this place feel like home since 1996.

Thank you for celebrating this milestone with us. Here’s to 30 years of 96, and to everything still to come.

The new winter menu has arrived at 96 Winery Road.

Cosy season calls for comforting flavours, beautiful plates, and dishes made for lingering a little longer.

Come try our Cauliflower Steak with shiitake caponata and miso broth, Biltong Arancini with baby spinach, and Smoked Wagyu Brisket with potato dauphinoise and winter veg.

And that’s just a taste of what’s new. There are plenty more winter dishes waiting on the menu, ready to warm up your next lunch or dinner at 96.

For 30 years, the walls of 96 Winery Road have held more than art.

They’ve held stories.

First dates, birthdays, anniversaries, long lunches, unforgettable dinners, and countless glasses raised beneath these much-loved pieces.

Some have been with us since the very beginning — quietly welcoming guests, witnessing moments, and becoming part of the soul of 96.

From Bob Mash’s joyful faces, to Cameron Platter’s Helderberg carving, to Sumi Gous’ Tree of Life, each piece tells a story of community, heritage, place, and connection.

As we celebrate 30 years of 96, we celebrate the food, the wine, the people — and the art that has watched it all unfold.

Good food.
Good wine.
Good art.
Good times.

Winter Weather? We’ve Got the Fires Ready

Cold day? Rainy afternoon? Windy Winelands weather, come anyway.

All our fireplaces are ready to keep you warm this winter, and there’s nothing quite like settling in at 96 with a glass of red, a comforting meal and the fire crackling nearby.

From long lunches to cosy dinners, winter at 96 has its own kind of charm, warm, welcoming and just the right amount of indulgent.
