    What a mesmerizing place with the best products!
    Thank you Briony and Clive for a wonderful lunch on our wine walk.
    Briony’s freshly baked bread served at the tasting with the olive oil was the highlight of my day.
    Your Chili oil is amazing. We had so much fun at the tasting and made so many jokes. 😂
    Our products arrived and we cannot wait to try them all.
    Best olives and best quality!

    South Africa's eminent #HouseofChardonnay 🥂

    We managed to catch the end of these bright purple Jacaranda blossoms in their entranceway announcing that Summer (and December) is officially here.

    As the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley, De Wetshof has become known internationally as South Africa’s eminent Chardonnay House due to the pioneering role it played in introducing this noble Burgundian grape to the country.

    Modern cellar technology and the use of the finest oak barrels ensures that De Wetshof’s wines showcase the fact that they are committed to bottling the best versions of nature’s gift from the vine.
    80% of the farm is planted to Chardonnay, with various clones matched to specific sites on the property aimed at optimal expression of terroir. Regenerative farming aims to conserve the environment while ensuring grapes of distinctive character and then there's the soil..
    ..On De Wetshof their limestone-rich soil is complemented by shale and clay, each soil component expressed in its own Chardonnay in the De Wetshof range.

    The result?
    Six diverse and damn fine Chardonnays!

    We finished up the day with a tutorial with Bennie, in the De Wetshof Wine Library with a line-up of some of our favourite Estate Chardonnays:
    ~ Limestone Hill
    ~ Calcrete
    ~ Bon Vallon
    ~ Finesse / Lesca
    ~ The Site
    ~ Bateleur

    Home to some of their rare bottled treasures of older and sought-after wines, it's a treat to experience tasting these exclusive wine in the intimate atmosphere of their Wine Library today and I would highly recommend this experience to my fellow Chardonnay-lovers out there.

    On a very hot day we had lunch under the vine. The garden is really very special. But we miss Ouma's sweetcorn fritters.

    This is a classy vineyard with an attractive restaurant and shop on the banks of the Breede river. You can buy picnic food and wine and take a river cruise that lasts about an hour. We were lucky that the boat was only half full and had a relaxing time in beautiful weather. Bring a hat and sunblock. It is very popular so visit on weekdays or before the crowds arrive.

    We were travelling between Swellendam and Robinson, and popped in here for lunch.
    Wouldn’t say it was an extensive menu, but others eating there were talking into Fine Fayr.e. Our salads were delicious chicken and pulled pork.
    Very competitively priced and prompt and efficient service.

    Plus I enjoyed a nice glass of the Estates, Rosé

    Rietvallei tasting room is very attractive and has great views of the surrounding hills. The wines we tasted were excellent. We also had a cheese platter that was really good. Great staff including the gorgeous dogs!

    Kranskop Estate was one of our stops on the Excelsior wine walk.
    We absolutely love the wine tasting. Beautiful view over the valley. It is a family owned farm and the owner, his wife and daughter assisted with our tasting.
    Newald the winemaker and owner had great stories about the farm and their wines.
    Thank you for your personal attention and great wines!

    Esona winery tasting room is quite small although busy on the day we visited with a retirement party. We opted for the tasting given in the cellar which is a lot more expensive than the standard tasting, but felt you got little extra for the higher cost. The normal tasting gives you lots of good views over the vineyard and the valley for less money.

    As a local, I have never experienced and really tasted Robertson Winery's wines before. My friends call me a "wine snob" because I am opinionated about my wines. I know what I like and stick to that. I mostly visit the smaller cellars but today I was surprised by Robertson Winery. When you think of Robertson Winery, especially those of us in the industry, you think "bulk, cheap and cheerful" but man ooh man that's not true. We arrived at RW a little later and not only were the staff friendly but they were also incredibly patient with us. RW ticked a lot of boxes that impressed me but where I have to give the staff a 10/10 is that the wines were served at the perfect temperature. Between myself and my friends wine tasting there were only 2 wines, which is not for our palates. Furthermore, the wines were incredibly tasty and good. We also had a platter for two, it so much food we had to take a doggy bag with is, the olives were AMAZZZIIIINGGG. Thank you Maryke and staff, you all are amazing! Till me wine-again, cheers
