The Waterford Way

"The wines are absolutely amazing, but the highlight of this visit was by far the wine drive with Brett. There’s something truly special about enjoying Chardonnay right by the Chardonnay block in the vineyard. Plus, if you're going to spend three hours discussing wine in a Land Rover, it has to be with someone knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. Every inch of Waterford is breathtaking!"

"Waterford Estate is not just a feast for the eyes with its captivating scenery; it's a haven of exceptional dining experiences, thanks to its well-trained service crew. Every meal here feels personalised and meticulously crafted to ensure guest satisfaction. The attention to detail and the warm, attentive service make dining truly excellent. Whether you're here for a casual visit or a special occasion, Waterford Estate makes every moment unforgettable."

"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!"

"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!"

"Beautiful! You have a completely different feeling here at this winery than at the others. You feel like you're in Tuscany, it's fantastic."

"By far the best place we’ve visited in South Africa! The wine and food were fantastic, and the service was exceptional."

"We had the most amazing private event which was hosted at Waterford for the Vintage with Love Lunch for Literacy. Thanks, Waterford."

"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!"
