Reviewed By RoBertie - Pleasanton, United States

This is a very family friendly winery that offers outdoor seating and treats. The tasting room is an old Dutch Colonial Manor house and it is the oldest winers in the area (early 1600's). The wines are good and servers knowledgeable, but mostly it's just a relaxing place with a large lawn.

Reviewed By WispyRobin - Florida, United States

I highly recommend Glen Carlou as part of a wine-tasting tour. The setting is spectacular, nestled in a valley and surrounded by mountains and a lake. There is a great contemporary art gallery that you can wander through, (all works are for sale and not stupidly priced at all). after your tasting, take the time to sit on their beautiful balcony with a bite and more wine. I especially loved their Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot wines. The grounds are lovely too. Take your time here, it’s good for your palate and your soul. One of my two favorite wineries.

Lourensford Wine Estate

Reviewed By 681lynnCol - Claremont, South Africa

This was our first visit to Lourensford. what a breathtakingly beautiful venue! Very well organised, right from the parking, friendly professional staff attending with friendly welcoming smiles. We were a group of 6 friends, together to celebrate my husband's birthday! Service at the Millhouse restaurant was fabulous. Happy staff attending , nothing was too much trouble. The pizzas were delicious. We sat outside on the deck. We did a wine tasting in the cellar after lunch, which was fun and informative and, this is a wine estate we will definitely be inviting all our friends to visit, and we'll be back! We also enjoyed the looking at the diverse Art in the Art gallery. Restrooms were pristine. This is a place to spend the day and chill and just enjoy the beauty.

Morgenster Wine Farm and Olive Estate

There’s a place, in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, on the foothills of a mountain where nature reigns. Amongst undulating hills and valleys of decomposed shale, unspoilt nature stitches in vineyards and olives trees; roots dug deep into the soil, canopies arched towards the South African sun. Only 74 ha of the 200 ha estate is under vine and olive trees, the rest is given over to the mountains and the wetlands where eagles carve through the sky and owls roost in trees close to the cellar door. Visit our contemporary tasting room, perched on the edge of a dam, with views of mountains and wetlands. Visitors can experience a variety of both wine and olive oil tastings in this bucolic setting.

Reviewed By Yusavia - Johannesburg, South Africa

We did the experience tasting which includes full olive oil tasting, wine tasting (three different wines) and two platters (Juicy fresh olives, bread, crackers and a chatucerie board). The tastings were lovely (quality olive oils and wines). The lady who did our tasting was friendly and knowledgeable. The olive oils and wines were amazing and unlike others, quite unique in flavour! And all in a picturesque setting. An unusual and pleasant tasting that I recommend!

This was our second visit to Constantia - the first was last January and we were delighted to find that the wine and food were every bit as good as we remembered. We had excellent advice from Cathy, who looked after us extremely well. The Flammkuchen was delicious, as was the smoked trout platter and her knowledgeable information throughout our wine tasting was was very helpful. Naturally, we came away rather more burdened with wine than we intended!
