The wine tasting experience at La Motte was a very elegant experience in a lovely tasting room, one of the top ones in Franschhoek. In depth description of the wines, of course, but a passion for understanding them. We have tasted there over the many years and they are still in the top tier. Unfortunately their outstanding restaurant was closed for remodeling.

I’m not sure what’s happening to this place. We’ve visited before and loved the place. Now (3-4 years later), we came back to have a hike on their ground, a lunch and some wine tasting. To start with the best… the hike which take you around their farm (including parts of the mountains behind the farm) was great. Beautiful walk, quite easy - took us approx. 2 hours. Highly recommended If you like hiking. The restaurant was closed, the deli had very little to choose from, basically just bread and a small cheese platter, which you could not bring to the wine tasting. This had to be eaten outside in the garden, which was empty and not very ‘cosy’. Just a few tables - nothing else. The wine tasting also left us rather disapponted. Basic wines. They said they’re renovating the whole place. Let’s hope they’re bouncing back to former glory. Including better wines.

A truly fantastic intimate dinner at a farmhouse long table. South African Farm style cuisine with a twist. Brought back many memories of what Farm-style cooking was like as a kid. Create atmosphere, brilliant staff and service. Wonderful setting. A unique experience, one for the bucket lists!

Lovely property from the outside, the blonde girl who seems to be a manager had a snob attitude when we arrived, not very welcoming. The body language can be improved. The gentleman who gave us wines was very friendly. We had some nice wines, the property is lovely.

Lovely venue, we had an amazing wine tasting with a gentleman called Ross. Highly recommend him and his knowledge of wines. His humor added to the experience, will definitely be back. A must for anyone visiting Franschhoek!

This winery was just ok for us. We visited as its highly regarded in the area. The tasting room is comfortable and very nice. Ivan was great as he explained the wines we tasted. Noting against La Motte, their wine just didn’t agree with our palates.

We have visited 68 wine farms in the past two years in the Cape wine lands. Never had such an epic wine tasting experience and historical journey, backed with experience, knowledge, and true love for wine. Thanks Ross for making it a absolute worth while experience. Sparkling clean and fancy wine glases - Check Fantastic wines - Check Beautiful setup - Check One of our best so far. Thanks La Motte (and Ross) We"ll be back!

This was probably the best wine experience I’ve had in the Winelands. The venue is stunning, neat, clean, with great decor and friendly staff. Ross assisted us and he was extremely knowledgeable. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back with all our friends and family.

I have been to La Motte for wine tasting a few times over the years but this surpassed all other visits. Tyrone was a fantastic host who really knew his subject matter. My daughter and I found out so much more about the wine making process, grapes, climates etc than we knew before. He was happy to answer all of our questions. What a great experience.
