"Vasse Felix is a must! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Florencia prepared a surprise for us and we loved it! What a day! We enjoyed a great wine tasting! Kaitlyn told us everything about those beautiful wines, she was excellent! What a welcome! After that tasting we headed to the restaurant, there Tally welcomed us. We chose the set menu with wine pairing. Every single bite was divine, the wines are gorgeous and both together were just perfect! Simon brought my favourite dish of the day…that scallop was an explosion of flavours…Jo, who took care of us, was great and she guided us through this unforgettable lunch. Can’t thank enough the whole team for making my partner’s birthday special! We’ll definitely come back!"

"Been here a number of times now. And honestly never disappoints! Had my mother visiting and they managed to fit us in even though they were full. Had the best three course lunch with wine parings from our waiter. The staff were so friendly and attentive, always makings sure we were happy and answered all my mother’s questions haha
Once we finished, we went downstairs to so some wine tasting. Which was so wonderfully presented by the American staff member. Telling us all about the wines, and the background of the wine estate.
Was an unbelievable experience from start to finish. Thank you so much for the hospitality and experience. Can’t wait to be back soon!!"
