At least I can tick the port off  on my diddit.com list, thanks to JP Bredell. They are not very big on their white and red wines, but  according to our host, when it comes to making Port, they are right up there. Unfortunately we could not taste the &#8220;Best Port&#8221;, but the port on offering was not bad.
Our host, Nerrisha Julius, was in need of some Corenza C though. Hats ...]]></description>

I&#8217;ve heard a lot of good things about the 96 Winery Road Restaurant, but I did not know that they are right next door to a wine estate that&#8217;s about to make history!
We were welcomed  by Nick Ridley. He was friendly, chatty, charming and he made us feel right at home. He inform us that Zandberg will release the first ever white Merlot at the end of May. What? Now there&#8217;s a tasting not to be missed! No fear to experiment here at Zandberg it seems! They were the first ...]]></description>

Unfortunately our host could not tell us anything about this lovely place. Her exact words: &#8221; I&#8217;ll give you a piece of paper that will explain everything.&#8221; I decided to keep the piece of paper for some bedtime reading. Our host disappeared to the back and we were left with 2 Swedish tourists. They saw the &#8220;piece of paper&#8221; as a big insult and left.
The wines that we tasted were good and well priced, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lovane is a boutique wine estate situated right next to Neethlingshof. They got their name from the the word U&#8217;Lovane, which is the Xhosa name for a Chameleon. There was apparently a lot of Chameleons on the farm back in the days.
All their wine are named after a Xhosa word. They have a Petit Verdot &#8220;Umama&#8221;, which means &#8220;mother&#8221; and a Cabernet Sauvignon &#8220;Utata&#8221;, which means &#8220;father&#8221;.

Never in my life have I seen so many spiders and spider webs in one place. Some of the spider webs date back as far as 70 years……………. FREAKY!!!!
Needles to say, we had to drink as much wine as possible to take our attention away from the nightmare that was playing off around us. Luckily that was not ...]]></description>

Bellevue Estate has the best Pinotage that I have tasted so far. It is a remarkable Wine Estate that produce more than half a million litres of high quality wine. We had the honour to meet the owner of the farms Stepmother, Petra Morkel. She was the first Wine Tasting Female Critic in South Africa. What a legend! Bellevue was the first farm to grow and produce Pinotage. No wonder that they are the Kings of Pinotage. Our host Randall Peceur was excellent and very passionate about his wine.

It stated that they are open for tasting until 4pm on a Saturday, but on our arrival at 3:45 we were informed that they are only open for sales until 4pm. Our policy: no tasting, no purchase.
We revisited them the next weekend. Our host Bridgette was very friendly and helpful. The prices of the wine were very high. The cheapest bottle of white was R85. ...]]></description>

Hoopenburg Wines has a very relaxed and non commercial feel. With lovely scenery and a friendly host we had a good time. Bonus for the Pinot Noir that we found. According to the friendly &#8220;Wine Flies&#8221;, Steven and Alke (who we ran into at every Wine Farm), it was the best that they ever had! See you at the next one guys!

They also have Jazz music over some weekends in the evening, where you can bring your own picnic basket and enjoy the summer and music.

Mooiplaas is a beautiful and authentic Wine farm. Here the Roos Family produce a range of acclaimed and award winning boutique style wines. The tasting room is in a old horse stable which made it pretty unique.
While tasting the wine, one can browse through the notes of the Wine maker and truly appreciate the effort and the love that goes into each barrel.

Hazendal is one of those old and classic wine farms in the Bottelary Hills. It&#8217;s a perfect venue for  weddings and I absolutely loved the big old fireplace. Hazendal has a unique blend of Russian inspiration and Cape Dutch style. A tour through the Marvol Museum featuring a fascinating insight into Russian culture with authentic icons and artwork. The restaurant is worth a visit!

Kaapzicht is a beautiful family farm in the heart of the Bottelary hills. One can see that the family has a great passion for the business, it show in the quality of their wines. The wine is reasonably priced and our host Melina was friendly and informative. I really enjoyed the Steytler Vision 2006. Just a pity that it&#8217;s R10 over my budget!

		<description><![CDATA[What a beautiful Wine estate. The long drive up, is totally worth it! Big trees and a beautiful garden welcomes you as you walk down the path towards the tasting room and outdoor Restaurant.
We were first welcomed by Robert and then the very friendly manageress Sonette did the tasting with us. She explained the processes that the winemaker of Hartenberg uses to produce their high quality wine. They do not make use of a lab to tell them when the grapes are ready to harvest. The winemaker takes a walk ...]]></description>

It felt a bit as if we were doing the tasting at the back of someones house. The tasting room had some modern touches though. They have 2 wine ranges, but the Premium one was not on tasting. The range that we tasted was a bit overpriced at R53 per bottle, seeing that it&#8217;s the cheaper range. I decided to buy a bottle of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Goede Hoop is a beautiful wine farm situated in Bottelary Hills. We were privileged enough to have a  personal tasting with one of the Wine makers, Carel Hugo. (hottie alert) He was friendly and relaxed and made our tasting experience one to remember. Some of my friends have no clue how wine is made, but he answered all their questions&#8230;even the stupid one&#8217;s. Their wine is affordable and goes down well.
The tasting room has a rustic feel to it with wooden tables and a big fireplace. A good spot  ...]]></description>

It&#8217;s a pity that they didn&#8217;t collect the bricks for the winery there as well.  It would have felt like wine tasting in Disney Land!

		<description><![CDATA[
While visiting some farms on the Bottelary wine route with a good friend, we were in desperate need of some food to even out the alcohol levels.
We decided to visit Beyerskloof and we caught the kitchen just before closing. The menu looked amazing and the prices were very reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, accompanied by some bubbly. We took a quick walk through the modern and extremely &#8220;good-looking&#8221; tasting room. The staff was friendly and I&#8217;m totally going back to taste their famous Pinotage.

		<description><![CDATA[Zevenwacht is situated in a lovely setting, but it&#8217;s probably the biggest tourist trap that you will find in Kraaifontein. To get to the tasting room you must first walk through the curio shop. The prices is ridiculously expensive.  You can get a wire/beaded hippo for the &#8220;bargain&#8221; price of  R4000, or you can opt for the  telephone wire candle holder for R300. Please refer to photo gallery to view items. The wine on tasting is affordable, but overpriced for the quality that you get. The staff is friendly ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I visited Vredenheim a year ago and boy have they made some changes! They are definitely catering for a bigger market now with two new restaurants and a new tasting room. They even have a curio shop now as well. The wine list did not change much. The wine is easy drinking and cheap. They do not export their wine and it&#8217;s also not for sale at retail shops.
Our host Susan Viljoen was friendly and informative. We met a few regulars that visit the farm often for a quick tasting ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stellekaya Winery is situated in town and years back it was actually a Brandy Cellar. The tasting room is in one of the old brandy maturation tanks.
Stellekaya means &#8220;home of the stars&#8221; and the host Lieze Norval is in fact a star. She was very friendly and chatty and I had a great time there. She went through all the wines and explained each of them thoroughly. The labels on the wine represented some of the star signs. The Merlot is represented by the Taurus, the Shiraz by  the Aries ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Mother-ship of all commercial Wine Estates. Spiers&#8217; motto must definitely be: GO BIG OR GO HOME! Once you have found a parking space you can enter the wonderland of experiences that they have on offer. It&#8217;s obviously not my first visit to Spier and I don&#8217;t think that it will be my last. Apart from the fact that it&#8217;s extremely busy, it&#8217;s always a pleasure to walk around the farm, shops and historical buildings. It&#8217;s almost as if you are at a carnival, and I think they even have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skilpadvlei is a nice place to bring the family for a Sunday lunch in the valley. The tasting room is a bit boring and needs some TLC. Our host, JP de Toit, was very friendly and good looking and made up for the bad interior. I&#8217;m thinking of creating a &#8220;Wine Hottie&#8221; page on the site. He&#8217;ll be the perfect poster-boy for February. The wine was easy drinking and affordable.

On your drive up to the estate you can enjoy some wild life viewing and on arrival, you can indulge in their amazing wine. Our host, Amelia Lotter, was friendly and informative and made our tasting experience very pleasant. The wine is excellent and worth every cent. Be on the look out for some nice specials that they run from time to time. They had some Saxenburg Gwendolyn 2002 for R15 a bottle. It&#8217;s always ...]]></description>

It&#8217;s one of those estates where you can buy an excellent bottle of wine for under R80.  I opened a bottle of their Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 to impress a friend the other night, and oh my goodness, did it work!
I like the classic look that they&#8217;ve got going.  It makes them appear mysterious and interesting. The host,  Niell van Velden, was ...]]></description>

Our host, Hetster Gikas, was friendly and made our tasting there enjoyable. The interior was warm and friendly and there had fresh hand picked flowers on each table. They had one white wine and five red wines on tasting and they were all well priced. They were also the first farm in South Africa to produce the Pinotage and Merlot Blend.
PS: Beware of the speed ...]]></description>

Living up to their well known and prestigious name, the host was very informative and friendly and gave us a rundown on the history of the farm. The prices of the wine are quite high, but at least they have a good reason. Wine is produced in very expensive barrels that are made from New French oak. The price per barrel is R14 ...]]></description>

The tasting room has a relaxed and informal feel and I am especially fond of the couch corner with the fireplace&#8230;.perfect for sipping wine on a chilly winter afternoon.
Kanu is well know for their exceptional wines. You can also taste and buy Mulderbosch wines at Kanu. ...]]></description>

We where welcomed by Megan when we entered the tasting room. She was friendly and  knew all the wine lingo blah-blah.  Unfortunately it felt as if we were standing at a busy bar with one bar lady.
The wines available for tasting were easy drinking, but pricey for easy drinking ...]]></description>

The tasting room has a stylish and fresh look, with comfortable couches and modern chairs. The tasting room manager, Jenny Burger, was friendly and made us feel right at home.

Our host Stefan de Klerk informed us that it was his first day on the job and I really appreciated his honesty. It contributed to the easy going and relaxed atmosphere.
The wine was way better than our previous stop and extremely affordable. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and winemaker of Bonfoi, Johannes van der Westhuisen. He told us that ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asara is another Wine Estate on the Stellenbosch Hills wine route that got a face lift since my last visit.  They are way bigger with a new restaurant, a delicatessen shop and a huge tasting room. They went for the Tuscan Villa look, which does not really suite the Stellenbosch area.  It feels as if you are visiting an upmarket Ratanga Junction, it&#8217;s just missing the rides.
The staff in the tasting room was friendly but uninformed. They did not know much about the wine or the history of the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amani is a Swahili word and it means &#8220;Place of peace&#8221;.There is definitely no need for spitting facilities here, because everything about them is great. The wine, the view, the host! The tasting room is modern and has a lofty feel to it. It has amazing views over the Stellenbosch vineyards and Cape Peninsula.
Our host Cindy Swiegelaar was great. One can see that she has a great passion for the wine industry and she made our experience unforgettable. Amani&#8217;s motto is that the customer comes first and they will do ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Avontuur is a lovely Wine Estate with modern finishes. All their wines are named after horses on the farm. Our host Louise van der Bijl was very friendly and informative and one can see that she knows her wine very well. The farm also produces some quality brandy that is for tasting and although I am not a fan of brandy, this one stole my heart. It’s a 10 year old Brandy from 1994 at R340 per bottle. We also found the best White Wine to date. Avontuur is an ...]]></description>

It almost felt as if we entered a Fairy Tail. If you take in consideration that Annandale keeps their wine in French oaks barrels for 5 years&#8230;.Hallo Neverland! Oh, but it&#8217;s actually Rugby Land.
The owner of Annandale, Hempies du Toit, is an ex Springbok. Hempies believes in the traditions of  &#8220;Old World&#8221; wine making. This means that the grapes are hand-selected during harvesting and that the entire maceration and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alto has a reputation of creating world class wines. The best part, they are not overly expensive.
Our host was friendly, but he did not really get a change to speak. We spotted some Durbanites at the other end of the counter and we started chatting to them. Verbal diaharee followed and it was fun to compare Cape Town with Durban.
The wine was good and we enjoyed the experience. Don&#8217;t forget to by a bottle of port when you visit them. It&#8217;s the only place where they sell their port.

		<description><![CDATA[Vergenoegd wine farm dates back to 1696 and the word means: “Satisfaction has been achieved.”
The year of 2002 was apparently a good harvest year for the wine in this region. The host Welos Pungu was friendly and had a great aura about her. She also showed us one of the most interesting bottle openers’ that I have ever seen! Go check it out

My first stop was the curio shop. They had everything that a tourist would love in there. The prices of the curios were high, but not overly expensive and they at least tried to cater for every wallet.
I left the curios shop and ...]]></description>
