My partner and I spent a few days in Elgin and had lunch and a wine tasting @ South Hill Vineyards. Macvallen gave us a really informative wine tasting. Smiling and so helpful he really made us feel at home. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie platters with fresh bread and they were absolutely delicious! We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed our afternoon relaxing eating and savouring their wines. Needless to say we did walk away with a few wine purchases. Thank you Macvallen for a lovely afternoon and we will definitely be back!

We ate outside with the most beautiful views across the Elgin valley. There’s a great varied menu with most of us choosing from the tapas menu. Everything we had was lovely but, if you were to choose one of the delicious pies, I would recommend you choosing vegetables and potatoes from the tapas menu rather than making it one of three meat options as I did. The pie is so packed with meat that it is quite filling.
It was a very relaxing meal as we weren’t rushed between courses and with croquet to play, a maze amongst the vines and some lovely art work to look at, it was very easy to spend three hours there.
We also thought the food and wine was reasonably priced.
This is a place well worth turning off the N2 to visit. So peaceful.

We went their twice over the weekend. Very relaxed, really good food and at a reasonable price. Good wines and the staff who talk about their wines are friendly, funny and helpfull.
A beautiful drive, really nice and friendly owners and hosts (Sandy & Kevin) leave you with the feeling that you have known them for years. A real gem, visit this one and you will return.

Absolutely horrific experience. Did not have enough staff to accommodate the amount of patrons which resulted us having to wait forever for service. Food was freezing cold and when advised them they just microwave the food. When booked were not advised that the menu would be extremely limited and the reason why we booked was becoz of the variety. The fire died in the fireplace which resulted in the restaurant being freezing. Thank goodness the wines were good but received absolute no apology in the horrific experience

Good Day. Sorry it took so long to reply, we took over the restaurant and actually shut it down for sometime to iron out the problems. We have reopened with a new menu and a new manager in place as well. We would love for you to come back and try again please. Let us know when you might want to come back so we can meet you in person . Thank you so much.

Went for lunch. Only 2 other tables occupied.
Food was very slow, cold and the steak beyond tough.
However the wine, waiters and ambience all excellent.
It seems to be a total management failure.
Should be avoided until the food is taken as seriously as the wine.

Steak ... really the best by far ... will definitely do it again. Steak to my plate as it was asked for and Sauvignon Blanc was is exceptionally fresh with aromas of blackcurrant, granadilla and Granny Smith apples. recently awarded 93 points and top 10 on the Christine Edes unwooded Sauvignon Blanc category.
The palate follows the aromatics and has a wonderfully crisp, natural acidity and juicy, tropical fruits displaying a fresh elegance which is the hallmark of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc. This is an extremely balanced wine which is drinking well in its youth and will gain complexity over the next 18 to 24 months. Great on its own and also well suited to being enjoyed with a wide variety of foods.

We took a chance to visit South Hill hoping they were open and they were.
It is a dust road to get there, but well worth it.
The setting and food was superb.
The owner was around to make sure we had a good time and give us some insights on the area.
The art gallery was fantastic.
