An intimate fine dining destination in Eldoret, crafting extraordinary menus from the finest ingredients of the Rift Valley — elevated by French technique, rooted in Kenyan soul.
At Rift & Vine, we believe that the finest dining experience begins long before the plate arrives. It begins in the farms of Uasin Gishu, in the hands of our suppliers, and in the vision of our head chef — Samuel Korir.
Every ingredient tells a story of place. Our tasting menus change with the seasons, reflecting what the Rift Valley gives us each month — honest, pure, and extraordinary.
Samuel Korir Executive Chef & Co-founderDirect partnerships with 12 Rift Valley farms, ensuring every ingredient arrives within 24 hours of harvest.
Classical French methods married with indigenous Kenyan flavours — a dialogue between two culinary worlds.

Only 40 covers per evening. Every table receives the undivided attention of our service team, creating an experience that never feels rushed.
Over 200 curated labels, from Stellenbosch Cabernets to rare Burgundy. Our sommelier is always present to guide your journey.
