Our favourite winery. My mother and I visit every year and enjoy sitting on the veranda whilst being talked through the latest on Peters wines, sheer indulgence! It’s our annual treat, the Groenfontein area around Calitzdorp is a magical area filled with special people and delicious eateries. We love Peters small bottles of Port and he has a wonderful selection of vintage bottles to satisfy all. We tend to stock up to last as through the year. His Wife Yvonne also sells wonderful stuffed piggies, ideal for gifts which support a local township project. Thank you to Peter and Yvonne. Margaret and Sarah.

We had an amazing experience. Hosts were friendly and made us laugh, wine was good and I loved the variety/change of the Portuguese wines mixed in! They do an extensive wine and olive tasting and the olives with a bite are to die for. We bought a bunch of each and will go back. Highly recommend a stop if you are anywhere close by to this lovely family run place!

We always visit Boplaas when in the vicinity and stock up on their good wines. The range has extended and now includes their own whisky and gin. They also have a tempting range of local olives, sauces, preserves and dried fruit products Added bonus - they keep Peter Bayly port too, another favorite. Since our last visit a few years ago, they have added a Bistro. We had a great cheese platter accompanied by some of their wine and grape juice for the driver. Always well worth a visit

Another great wine tasting venue with excellent affordable wines. Unfortunately no restaurant. Always happy, friendly and helpful staff. The main wine tasting area has great views over the vineyards onto the Rooiberg in the south.

Reviewed By LisleBrampton - Cambridge, United Kingdom
I cannot praise Hans enough for his friendly welcome and going out of his way to adapt what we did to the needs of two children with very different levels of riding experience. Hans allowed me and our dog to accompany them on a walk around the property and to let my elder daughter go off on her own on the horse at her own pace. He provided a fascinating commentary on the property, its history and his plans for the future. Went for coffee with him afterwards at the nearby hotel where he will meet you. Most of his horses and donkeys are rescues and this just adds to the feeling of well being. He runs a range of different types of walks and rides for all abilities. Please note that it is best to contact him by SMS or WhatsApp as the terrain where he is based and his working hours means he has limited access to email. Can’t recommend this enough and can’t wait to be back for a proper ride out off property.
