I went with my daughter and her friend - we are intermediate riders. John is an amazing guy - really knowledgeable and clearly loves all his horses. We had a beautiful ride with great horses - a truly special experience.

4.5 based on 11 reviews
The Schalkenbosch vineyards are situated high up on the slopes of the Witzenberg mountain range overlooking the picturesque Tulbagh valley. The soils are similar to those found in the Rhone Valley in France and the vineyards enjoy a unique micro-climate. A late sunrise is due to the shadow of the mountain.

My husband and I did a last minute booking for New Years and were so impressed with this comfortable and homely cottage. Just what we needed to get away from the city life. Beautiful scenery and our hosts, Emmeric and Gregen, were so welcoming and accommodating. We even ended up extending our stay by a night.

Tulbagh is a gem. From the beautifully renovated houses of Church Street, to the great museums, superb restaurants and wine farms both in and around the town, and wonderful people that live there, it’s a fabulous place to spend a weekend. Be warned, you’ll want to stay a week ... or two!

Unbelievable setting. Service was great. The full circle, which is available for tasting, is probably the best red I have ever had.

Even after reading the other reviews, Lemberg Wine Estate far exceeded our expectations. From the get-go their hospitality and humour made us feel at home. We arrived earlier than anticipated, yet they were already prepared for our stay. The accommodation was very spacious, clean and neat. The rondavel has its own braai area overlooking the dam and spectacular views of the mountains. Special mention to Mikaela who welcomed us and very knowledgeably provided us with information about Tulbagh and guided us through a fantastic wine tasting experience. She went the extra mile to make us feel completely at home at Lemberg Wine Estate. We left with not only a complimentary bottle of highly recommended Chenin Blanc, but also a new found knowledge about wine. Her ease and interaction with clients was outstanding. Zelna was very friendly and made the booking and check in experience incredibly easy and pleasant. JC provided great conversation and was very hospitable, he didn't hesitate to help us at any point, and always made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. We will definitely visit Lemberg Wine Estate again, and would highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had the wine tasting in the forest, surrounded by butterflies and birds, absolutely beautiful!! Wines are well presented by Emanuel. Also had their cheese board that was really good. There are a few places to taste wine at here, I suggest to do it in the forest. Well done!

Although we are the only guests here, the wines and the midday views of the working vineyard are spectacular. The wines are sublime, although I requested a spittoon, I am yet to use it. Just a reminder of the quality of wines and venues the cape has to offer, even if we have to still sport masks in this new normal environment. #winediary #coviddiary #2020 #tulbagh #capewines

Walk through the old cellars, cool with whole tree trunks for eaves and climb up to a modern tasting room with stunning views of the mountain. Two tasting options - R50 and R100. Comfie couches and delicious bubbles made for a very pleasant afternoon
