"Wine tasting is very reasonably priced and the wine is very good. Friendly atmosphere. I’ll alway visit when i am in Hermanus."

"We had a great tasting yesterday. The "man with the golden earrings" referred to so negatively in previous reviews was great! Witty and perceptive. We enjoyed his service. We enjoy the quirky touches to this wine collection. My favourite to drink today is Kaal voet meisie and to lie down for a while Swartskaap."
