I am hardly a connoisseur of the wine variety so I can't tell you anything about the accompanying beverage to our meal aside from the fact it was gorgeous. But I can tell you that the food was delicious, the scenery stunning, the staff lovely and it is a perfect place to go and experience an off the beaten track,... More

A small winery off the main road but worth a visit for the tasting. We chose the full tasting with nibbles (cheese and biltong) and were not disappointed. The wines were excellent - particularly the straw wine. A delightful setting in the garden looking up at the mountains. Lunch looked delicious but sadly we couldn't stay long enough to eat... More

Kitchen at Maison is world class - decor, food, their own wine and friendly top notch service. Style is contemporary, less is more and, still warm and welcoming. Sort of chic robust A beautiful lawn, with wineyards and horses as a backdrop. Food is elaborate, elegant and so so tasty. Maison's wine is also really good, especially the Chardonnay. Bring... More

Amidst all the hype it's so rare to find something that really lives up to expectation. This place was one of those. We arrived without a reservation and was seated immediately. The place was almost to capacity, but yet it felt spacious and cosy at the same time, with a wide open grass area for kids to run around on... More

Great white wines - Maison offer a very good Rose wine. Decor and food are amazing. The back offers some brilliant views of the Franschoek mountains - Maison has several wooden long tables which would be ideal for groups in summer!

We visited the Maison Estate on the Franschhoek Uncorked and was impressed by the quality of food and wine. The restuarant has a stunnng view over the mountains.

We just kinda stumbled in at the end of the day. This is not wine tasting Napa-style. This winery is a combo winery & restaurant. The tasting was done in a living room type area: we sat in lounge chairs & sofas around a coffee table. Some wines were served with a bit of meat & cheese; some served w/chocolate.... More

I like the menu, the food is very good, service is usually very good, setting very nice. The personal wine tasting at the table adds something special. Lovely for summer lunches, not sure what it would be like in winter

So you decide to go wine tasting! Our first experience and we visited four 'estates'. This is by far the smallest and has an attached dining experience - only open for lunch (as the famous location nearby) but apparently very well attended also! The wine was limited but superb (Shiraz and Chardonnay) our choices to 'hand carry' on the flight... More

This place has amazing Shiraz. Lets be honest. I have seen the sign for their Shiraz on the side of the road many times but never been drawn in to stop. Until someone told me about Maison and I stopped by for lunch! Wow! Beautiful setting. Good food, amazing lemonade (perfect for a warm day to cool down with) and... More
