2 months agoWe decided to go out to this gorgeous wine estate to do some wine tasting. It did not disappoint. The views are absolutely exquisite, and the service is above and beyond. We were fortunate enough to be assisted by a lovely gentleman, Zama. He made the experience so memorable, and he was especially so good with my daughter. Thank you so much for your kindness. You are exceptional at what you do.

3 months agoThe most stunning wine farm I went to. The scenery was unbelievable, the wine was delicious (I opted to try their 3 light wines on the tasting menu) and the atmosphere was so gorgeous. I think our waiter could have been slightly more attentive, but he was very knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone traveling to stellies!

a month agoIt is really a beautiful wine farm but it is just so many people, it takes the experience from a old wine farm away and it was busy. We waited to get water for 10mins and walked away and never even started tasting the wines from the farm. Also dont think the waiters cared that we left. So yes. Stunning location but service is not what you would expect.

a month agoNo indication of what you will be served as part of the tasting menu (unlike most other fine dining restaurants) and was bit underwhelmed by the dishes served. May have been better served by choosing from the a la carte menu. That being said the staff were very attentive, the venue superb and view excellent. Seeing the restaurant has only been up and running for ~6 months there is room for improvement if one looks at the a la carte menu.

2 months agoThis is a place where you have to pinch yourself to check you're not dreaming. The restaurant, food, service and wines are all absolutely top notch. As is the price of course, but this is a special occasions place and worth the money because just being here makes the occasion special. Book well in advance on the DinePlan App, request a table near the front of the terrace and spend a long leisurely lunch soaking it all up. We stretched ours to 4 hours and loved every minute.
