The Waterford Way

"We did the Porcupine Wine Walk, so we only had a light lunch, which was very tasty. The whole experience was fantastic! Zac was excellent, sharing his extensive knowledge and showing genuine interest in the wine estate and its offerings. The wine was also exceptional (so I was told, as I don’t drink), and the estate itself was lovely. We lingered longer, enjoying the sun along with the glorious wine, chocolate, and wine ordering. It was the best wine we've had in the region, and overall, the best experience - highly recommend!"

"This was the first wine tasting we did in South Africa and it was a fantastic location with a great wine selection. We enjoyed each one and were taken through each by the team at Waterford with a lot of knowledge and expertise as to how each wine is created. The Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent."

"Waterford hosted over 190 ladies in their beautiful, intimate courtyard. The carefully curated three-course set menu, paired with their amazing wines, was a delight at this event! The starter featured a deliciously light salad made with fresh tomatoes. The main dish was a delightful surprise! The pasta with chicken breast was cooked al dente and served hot. The dessert was equally refreshing. The service was absolutely excellent! Overall, I give it five stars!"

"What a fantastic holiday experience at Waterford Estate around Cape Town. Great service, excellent wine options, delicious food and a relaxing environment. High praises to Mr. Arman for guiding us through this wonderful experience. Many thanks. We will definitely come back in the near future."

“Bursting from the glass with juicy layers of complex dark fruit essences of blackberry jus and spiced plum compote, the 2016 The Jem offers gobs of sappy purple flowers and elegant oak essences. Full-bodied, firm and juicy, the palate is ripe, plush and still tannic before revealing layers of succulent red fruit tones that glide to an elegant and robust finish. It's a devastatingly gorgeous wine that has me craving flame-kissed ribeyes.”

"This is our third time doing the wine safari, and once again, Waterford did not disappoint! I cannot recommend this experience enough, but be sure to go there hungry and with enough time to fully enjoy the experience, which lasts about 3+ hours. You get to sample a wonderful variety of their wines in different settings around the estate. The settings are beautiful, and the wines are fantastic. All the staff are friendly and helpful, even when we contacted them from the UK. This has been our best wine tasting experience in South Africa, and we will definitely return on our next visit - thank you."

"We decided to visit the farm after my partner heard numerous positive comments about it, and we are so grateful we did because it truly is a hidden gem on the wine route. What sets this place apart is its authenticity. The Mediterranean architecture complements the experience, which focuses on wine tasting, wine safaris, and cellar tours. My partner indulged in the wine and chocolate experience, which looked incredible. I couldn't resist trying the white wine and chocolate combination - it was heavenly!"

"What an outstanding experience! Waterford is clearly producing some exceptional wines - there's no doubt about that! Seeing the process and the inner workings of true artistry in winemaking was fascinating, especially for someone like me who knows very little about it. However, the highlight was the vineyard tour in the Land Rover! Our guide was beyond superb: knowledgeable, and professional, and he struck the perfect balance between giving us space and inviting us back to try the endless Waterford creations. The wine safari is something we’ll be recommending to anyone who will listen for a very long time!"
