- Nathan B2 contributionsFor a personal collection it was amazing, the age, variety and sheer number in a stunning picturesque location.Written 8 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Aran88London67 contributionsWe went to South Africa for our 25th anniversary and were lucky enough to stay at Boschendal for the night of our anniversary. We stayed in the Retreat Cottages and it was delightful, the view of the cannas and the mountains in the distance is absolutely stunning. The gardens are beautiful, and the breakfast area was fabulous.
The team at reception very kindly gave us a bottle of wine on arrival and another bottle of MCC as it was our anniversary. The women on reception were just lovely! And we enjoyed them in front of the fire!Written 30 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Langstone111Newport, UK128 contributionsLovely welcome to this fantastic small family wine farm. All the staff were very welcoming especially Caleb. Choose the wine tasting and cheese and fruit platter which was so good! We asked where the cheese was made so that’s tomorrow’s day out sorted. The wines were all really good. Bought 6 bottles and some fresh peaches for breakfast. We will visit again for some wine and that cheese and fruit platter. As well as the lovely cheese and wine the views were pretty spectacular too from under the shade of the oak tree.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bluejeanfoodPhiladelphia, PA789 contributionsGrande Provence Wine Estate has over a 325-year history. Nestled in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley in South Africa’s Western Cape, there are lush vines spread across 47 acres. Rolling vistas frame the valley floor and heighten the drama of the rugged mountains beyond. This is heartland South African Wine Country at its very finest. I enjoyed their Angels Tears Tasting which was, AT Sauvignon Blanc, AT Muscat, AT Rosé, AT Merlot/Cab Red Blend, and a Nougat Pairing.Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- daviddD2632SMMold, UK44 contributionsCalled here on the Wine Tram (Orange Line) on a beautiful day. Had coffee followed by lunch (lovely pasta in ragu sauce) and then decided to stay for a wine tasting when we saw the terrace overlooking the winery with the mountains as a backdrop. Stunning. The wine wasn’t bad either!Written 22 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vicki RSan Juan Capistrano, CA86 contributionsMussa, our Tuk Tuk driver recommended we visit Dieu Donne Vineyards and it did not disappoint. We tasted 5 wines from their Premium range and loved every varietal. Sabrina was pouring the wine, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. We live in California and go to Paso Robles and Napa often so tasting wine that we believed was comparable to a Napa wine was a wonderful surprise. We wanted to ship a case or 2 home but unfortunately the cost was prohibitive. I would highly recommend visiting this winery!Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Explorer206352046361 contributionSurrounded by amazing fragrances & in good company is an amazing experience. One can't help but feel special when walking out. And all i did was to accompany my friend but yet felt part of it as well. Service is amazing and friendly! Daniela really went out of her way to help my best friend with the perfect Christmas gift. It's hard to leave such a tranquil place while being surrounded by an amazing environment both inside and outside sipping aromatic coffee and eating a delicious cupcake to end off the perfect experience. Would very much recommend this to all my friends.
