Urban Winery (Pretoria) Wish to inform our visitors that we are relocating to a new venue and will be closed at the current venue until our NEW VENUE Liquor license is ready. The new Venue will allow us to serve you in a wonderful setting with easy access, secure parking and atmosphere that will keep you seated for longer. We apologise for the inconvenience and we sure will be missing a lot of new and regular faces. But we promise to speed the process as quick as we possibly can.

In the middle of December you need to stop at places that have excellent aircons. And Bezalel surely has. The wine tasting was great - we learnt a lot about the wines of the Northern Cape. And lunch was to die for. Try their special house burgers, you won't regret it!

Having tasted Brampton wine earlier on our trip, we made a beeline here for lunch on our arrival in town. The service is excellent, and very friendly. The food was that good, we came back again for lunch the next day. The highlight was the wine - perfectly chilled sauvignon blanc. And all at astounding value - the best value lunch we had on our whole trip. Majorly recommended!
4. Camberley Wines

Reviewed By AndrissaFerreira - Alberton, South Africa
This is a farm where the wine truly does speak for itself. Made with heart and passion on a boutique estate that prides itself on the art. A small cafe is available with limited trading hours and be sure to visit the website for some accommodation options. This is a yearly stop when we are in The Winelands as it remains my husband’s all time favourite. With good reason - whoever we take always become fans of Camberley wines.

Ok, so when one of my friends suggested we have a Friday afternoon drink at a Whisky Bay, me being a gin drinker - I wasn’t to keen. I can honestly say I’m so glad she talked me into going! The Bascule Whisky, Wine and Cocktail Bar is located on the water’s edge of the beautiful Victoria & Alfred Waterfront marina, with relaxing views back over the marina to Table Mountain. If you’re having trouble finding it the bar is at the bottom of the renowned Cape Grace Hotel. Boasting a selection of over 400 whiskies from around the world, along with an exceptional selection of the Cape’s most renowned wines, there truly is something for everyone. We arrived at the bar at about 4.30pm on a Friday evening, everyone is well dressed and the bar has a cool nautical theme, you can sit outside, we chose inside out of the heat. If your knowledge of Whisky is not the best, I would strongly suggest you try the Tastings, a selection of 3 Whisky’s, along with tasting notes so you can look like you know what you are doing. We must have looked a little like armatures lol, so it was so nice to have one of the managers sit down with us and talk us through the tasting (See photo of him below). I should also mention that all the staff were so genuine and friendly, great service. The bar gets a lot busier at night; it really is the place to be seen in Cape Town, lively music and tasty tapas dishes. Sure it's a little upmarket, however well worth the experience, don’t miss it.

Well with two vineyards under our belt ( literally and figuratively) we head up the hill to this venue - there were dozens of like minded people all with wine glasses going the same way. When we entered we found the best organized and welcoming funky vineyard tasting we’ve ever had !! They paired all their wines with a variety of food from red velvet cake to honeycomb - and they were all wonderful experiences - the bottle labels are unique and inviting - a large undercover area with great food available made this our number one visit ( ok we visited 13 of the 18 ) - well done BLack Elephant!!!

We didn’t book ahead and just turned up. We received a great welcome and tasting with Ramsay. The tasting costs R60 pp, to taste 6 of their 11 wines and is informative. If you’re passing on the way to Stellenbosch, definitely worth a visit.
