March 12, 2022 Velvet Champine

Beautiful Hermanus is a South African seaside town that’s a popular whale-watching site. An initial visit to the Old Harbour Museum will acquaint you with the area’s rich fishing history and impress you with a massive exhibit of a whale skeleton. With dozens of area vineyards, Hermanus is a great base for a guided wine tasting tour.

Reviewed By hiltontait - Johannesburg, South Africa

Its just at the start of the Hemel & Aarde valley and it doesn't have the glitz and glamour of some of the other wineries up the valley but it delivers in spades. There is an attached restaurant called Maná which is under the management of Bartho's wife Suné. The setting is outside in a rustic setting with wooden tables under a granadilla covered pergola. We wanted a light snack so we were coerced into trying "Suprise suprise", which turned out to be a delightful offering of local cheese, pork pie, scotch egg, bread, fresh fruit and a marvelous chutney. The single platter was enough for two people. Wine tasting was by one of the students. Although young she made it very interesting and delivered an enjoyable wine tasting experience. The Róse is an excellent match for the platter.

GREAT place with friendly staff! We had a burger for a affordable price that was amazing. We also enjoyed a platter including a Swedish delicacy called Raclette and two glasses of their refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, this is definitely a must have. Overall great experience and definitely one of my favourite farms in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

Lovely vineyard, went there for lunch and the wine pairing, excellent friendly service, first time experience for myself had a great time. Highly recommend this vineyard. Only negative is dog owners not controlling their dogs, why people insist on taking them to restaurants I don’t know,
