Good to know

Do I need to book?

Not for the Classic tasting. Everything seated, the tour and the Harvest Table are by booking, and summer weekends fill about a week ahead.

Can I buy wine to take home?

Yes. Every wine in the range is for sale at the cellar door, except Die Kloof, which is sold only on allocation.

Is the estate wheelchair accessible?

Yes. There is level entry to the tasting room and barrel hall, and an accessible bathroom.

What happens if it rains?

Nothing changes. The tasting room and the barrel hall are underground.

Can children come?

Yes. There is apple juice from the farm and a lawn to run on. Tasting is for those 18 and over.
