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.

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!

Marvelous, very modern winery. Make sure you take the guided tour, which is excellent. We've tasted wines all over the world, and the tour here is the best we've ever taken. Wines are pricey but wonderful.

Having visited this lovely wine estate in January (as part of a 65th birthday celebration month) we couldnt resist another visit during our December Christmas visit and this time I took my sister and her husband who were visiting Cape Town for the first time. While the men went off to sample local beers we settled down to enjoy the 5 wine tasting. Staff are very knowledgable about the wines the estate produces, so much so that we bought several bottles of our favourite which was the Sauvignon. why do we return to this winery every time we travel to Cape Town? simply the location is spectacular and in addition to wine tasting the estate offers an artisan community of diverse produce- Beer-Sushi-Ice Cream -Coffee-handmade Chocolates and a lovely Bistro all located within a row of small of cottages in the grounds. I already know that I will be buying wine again when I visit at Christmas 2020.

We used the red bus tour to drop us off at the gates of Eagles nest. We walked up the driveway to be greated by a lovely smiley lady and "BEAR"(the dog) fast asleep. We were invited in for a tasting but declined. We did stop and have a glass of wine and some great SA delicacies. We were also greated by BEARS friends IZZY AND TEDDY. These just add to the perfect feel of the place. Unfortunately we only had a small backsack otherwise these dogs may have come back to the UK with us. Thanks for the wonderful look into the vineyard and a warm welcome.
