After finishing an exam at 1pm, we jumped in the car and were down in Swartland by 2:30pm. This was our first stop. Going in it had a feel of a co-op to it; tasting right in the office. The attendant feigned interest but rushed us through the tasting and wasn’t entertaining. My nose decided to go on leave today!
Assistant was not interested enough. Quality was average although very reasonably priced
So the tasting room is in town and not at farm. A bit of a let down. they do however have a wide range of wine and friendly staff in the tasting room. Nothing special though
Very good tasting very helpfull assistant and good value for money.
Friendly service and the lady really listened and figured out what we liked and made suggestions. Most of the wines are super cheap quaffers but their premium range is quite refined.
Friendly service with easy drinking wines at very affordable prices. A big range to pick an choose from. Another plus point is that they are one of the only wineries that are open on a Sunday.
