The Waterford Way

"The Wine Drive Safari with Zach was outstanding! He made the experience truly memorable. The wines were delicious and paired beautifully with the food. The chocolate finish with The Jem was a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend this experience and the Waterford Estate wines!"

"Perfect as always - and even the sun was out on a marvellous winter day - just the trees were lacking the leaves - lol - no wonder, it is August (winter)... so all was perfect like the last 20 times."

"We stopped by during our wine-tasting tour without a reservation, hoping to grab some food as well. Initially, it seemed they’d stopped serving food for the day, and we’d only be able to do the wine tasting. However, a lovely lady offered to check with the manager and kitchen staff to see if they could make something for us. To our delight, she quickly returned to let us know they could prepare a small selection of dishes to accompany our wine tasting. How amazing and flexible of them! We were seated in a beautiful, airy private room, where we enjoyed both the wine tasting and the delicious food. Malaika took wonderful care of us—she was friendly, professional, personable, and efficient. Truly a gem and a fantastic ambassador for Waterford. We weren’t rushed at all and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food portions were generous and very tasty, and prices were quite reasonable. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Waterford to others. Thank you for hosting us—it was exceptional service!"

"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!"

"Antigo by Waterford is the latest stroke of genius from the team at this esteemed Stellenbosch winery. Showcasing the beauty, complexity, and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon blended with classic Bordeaux varietals, this wine glides over the palate with a luxurious depth that outshines any other in its class."

"Floor manager, Brandon left a remarkable impression - our waiter Emil was as great, and his service was exceptional - this is an environment for those who have an appreciation for the finer things in life - the service is above average as is the food items - will certainly recommend this property for lunches and wine tasting."

"What a wonderful experience! My girlfriend organized this, and although I was unsure at first, I’m so glad I went! The grounds at Waterford are magical. I’d definitely recommend taking time to explore the gardens and the beautiful rooms inside the venue."

“If you wanted to turn a wine novice onto the joys of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, you could do worse than pour them a glass of this flagship red. Pure, perfumed and refined, with subtle lead pencil and cut grass aromas, piercing blackcurrant fruit and just the right amount of oak sweetness.”
