Consistent quality, good value for money, and every wine displays typical character of the particular varietal. Loved the Bastion in terms of value for money. Awesome restaurant.

Cold and heartless are my first impressions…even though the tasting room was empty we had to ask if we “may” taste some wine. Mass produced wine at crazy prices.

Experienced an good averaged wine tasting. Absolutely love the sauvignon blanc. Visited the restaurant twice. During the first visit we ordered the a la carte menu from top to bottom. Enjoyed everything although a bit costly. The second time we had the Sunday buffet – very disappointing, the food were cold and tasteless.

Even though they have their place in the wine industry, the wine feels almost factory made – especially the “normal” bottom end range. The tasting room is too clinical – feels like an office block. Staff well trained, but cold. The sort of place you visit once, and never again.

DBVHills provides a cool, relaxed atmosphere to taste really great wines at your leisure. Their premium range is more for everyday drinking (which luckily is affordable enough to do so) and teir Rhinofields and Single Vineyard ranges deserve all the awards they get!

PS. As the place was quite full for the festival I did not get a stiff upper lip at all while there, I am happy to say…

Was there for the Sauvignon Blanc Fest – must say didn’t know you can get so many different Sauvignon Blancs from the same farm to taste so different from each other!

I loved them though, really enjoyed the Durbanville Hils Sauv Blanc 2008 + 2009..

The Restaurant experience was nice,the whole vibe is very cold and clinical like a hospital. Agree on the wines with Andrew the Rhino field range is better. Another Distell baby.

Durbanville Hills is a modern and hi-tech Estate with a great view over…. Parklands.The tasting room is big and appears a bit cold and stiff. Our host was friendly and made our tasting experience enjoyable. The wines are average and a bit pricey for what you get. The restaurant seems nice but also a bit “stiff upper lip”. Great views though.
