Father Coffee, the popular coffee shop and roastery known for its Scandi-inspired space and hipster-ish persona, opened a winebar within its Kramerville head office and shop earlier this year, and it’s simply called Winebar.

Taking up half of their coffee counter, the recent addition offers up an everchanging and always interesting selection of South African wines — all available by the glass (125ml). Having opened in mid-March, the winebar is already on its 29th menu — changing things up as bottles run out and new finds are discovered.

Though the list is very much driven by what the team enjoys drinking, there’s a definite focus on the interesting and unusual, with the list featuring predominantly small batch and boutique wineries and winemakers — especially those who follow a minimal intervention or natural approach to winemaking.

Guests can choose from a concise — about 10-15 bottles — yet carefully curated selection of sparkling, white, rosé, red and even orange wines, or opt for the flight, which includes a curated, five-glass tasting and runs the gamut of the styles of wine on offer.

Currently available are the likes of Lubanzi’s Rainboat Pét Nat — a sparkling wine made from Cinsault, Testalonga’s Mangaliza Hárslevelú and Restless River’s Wanderlust pinot noir, among others.

Complement your glass with a selection of bar plates. The menu features sourdough with whipped butter, burrata with confit tomato, house pickles and charcuterie.

Those looking to move on from wine can choose from a selection of aperitifs, classic cocktails or specialty craft beers.

Winebar is open from Thursdays to Saturdays till 8pm and on Wednesdays and Sundays till 5pm.

Address: 19 Dartfield Road, Kramerville, Johannesburg
