Mill St Bistro in Stellenbosch unveils its new Wine Deck, offering a curated selection of lesser-known South African wines and innovative dishes. Guests can enjoy a laid-back atmosphere, premium wines by the glass, and seasonal small plates designed to complement the unique wine list.
This summer, Mill St Bistro in Stellenbosch unveils its exciting new Wine Deck , offering a fresh and vibrant celebration of South Africa’s wine culture. Located at the corner of Mill and Church streets, the Wine Deck invites guests to relax and savour some of the region’s most innovative wines in a laid-back, welcoming environment. For Welsh-born head chef Phil Carmichael, the Wine Deck represents his love for South Africa and the connections people form over food and drink.
‘The best moments happen when people come together, sharing stories and creating memories,’ says Carmichael, whose philosophy is reflected in every aspect of the Bistro— from the curated wine list to the seasonal small plates and cocktails designed to complement the wines.The Wine Deck focuses on showcasing South Africa’s lesser-known wine gems, highlighting small, family-run vineyards and biodynamic, organic, and minimal-intervention wines. Carmichael emphasises that the Bistro aims to ‘push boundaries’ by featuring adventurous winemakers who produce ‘extraordinary results.’ Guests can enjoy these premium wines by the glass, thanks to the state-of-the-art Coravin system. The food menu is equally impressive, with small, seasonal plates that pair perfectly with the wine list. Standout dishes include Jalapeño and Klein River Gruberg Croquettes, Wood-fired Dalewood Camembert with Pear and Saffron Chutney, and the must-try Farmer Angus Charcuterie Platter with Mill St Pickles and Wood-Fired Flatbread. Not to be overshadowed, the cocktail menu features Mill St Bistro’s signature home-ferments. Highlights include The Stellenbosch Sour, which blends homemade coffee kombucha with Woodford Reserve whiskey, and The Bourbonator, offering a distinctly South African twist with homemade vanilla Rooibos syrup and caramelised apple tincture. For Carmichael, the Wine Deck is about creating lasting experiences without the need for reservations. ‘Sometimes, the simplest experiences are the most memorable. This is a place where people can come as they are, enjoy a perfectly crafted moment, and soak up the atmosphere.’Whether you’re in the mood for a glass of South African wine, a creative cocktail, or a light bite, the Wine Deck at Mill St Bistro is the perfect spot to discover, relax, and connect. Mill St Bistro is located at the corner of Mill and Church Streets, Stellenbosch Central. For more details and online bookings, visit
