I was so happy that I turned back when I saw the “Shiraz Lovers” sign whilst driving into Franschhoek last week. We were treated to a fine tasting experience. Guy Kedian invited us in and took us through the tasting. Not only is the wine stunning, but they also sell a stunning lemon cordial. I would recommend this little wine farm to anyone going near Franschhoek. Thanks Guy.

Heather and I popped out to this farm again today. We once again were made to feel so warm. We had a stunning lunch and some great wine. Had a glass of the EE 2004, wow loved it. Thanks Thinus for making our visit so special.

Had a very enjoyable tasting this afternoon. I had the pleasure of two ladies serving me and we had a lovely chat. It was very informative. Thanks for the experience.

I love the drive up to this beautiful estate. Heather and I went there last week on Friday afternoon. I was very impressed with the Vin De Constance. It is a wine steeped in history. The lady who helped us with the tasting was very knowledgable. She made the experience very interesting.

Met the owner at the Houw Hoek farm stall. He gave me a brief history of the farm. I bought a bottle of the St Andrews, this is a stunning wine, well worth the money paid. I then tasted the Shiraz whilst at an informal tasting at the Peregrene farm stall. This too was really good. I must say the the young lady who took us for the tasting was very informative. Not only did she no the Arumdale wines but she also helped me purchase some other wines. It’s people like this that make my (wine travels) worth while. Thank you.

Heather and I popped in to this wine estate on Sunday for the season of sauvignon event. We tasted the Sauvignon Blanc 2010, it was great, nice and crisp. Not as grassy as the 2009 but I prefered it. Kate and her team are very professional and organised.

Lots of busses full of tourists, but we can only say thank you for the income that they bring into our country. Stunning wines and very friendly staff.

I visited this farm earlier this year. I love all the fun names that they have given to their wines. I tasted a few of their wine and I was very impressed.

I really enjoyed my visit last week to this beautiful farm. Yes, the wines are expensive but the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. We had a tasting in the little museam and it was very informative. Thanks to Thinus who made our experience very memorable. I will definately go back for another visit.

My wife and I visited Warwick last week, it was stunning. The big 5 wine safari was awesome. Thanks to the staff who took care of us.
