Visited this vineyard for a tasting. Wines were OK but nothing special. We also ordered two cheeseboards to accompany the wine tasting and they were very good. Views out across the valley are superb. Other than the cheeseboards we never ate here so cannot comment on other food or service. Well worth a visit for a tasting.

The view is amazing - looking across the valley with a ring of mountains in the distance. A coach party arrived at the same time as us (to an almost empty restaurant at this stage) and we then sat for 70 minutes watching them all get served with both their starter and main course. How can you run a restaurant... More

Both the view and the food are superb. Service a little slow, but very friendly. They bought water for the dogs, were accomodating when one of the party added to their order, and answered questions with patience and a smile. Very reasonable prices for such quality. (Approx. ZAR 250 p.p with wine, no desert). A great location for body and... More

We attended a friends wedding here and I must say it was up there with one of the best wedding locations we have ever been to (and we've been to alot!) Views to take your breath away, great set-up with different areas for each part of the day; ceremony, drinks, photos, meal, dancing etc. - all with a stunning backdrop... More

Our tour group stopped at this lovely winery for a tasting and lunch. We tasted a variety of reds and whites and the 2008 Cabernet was excellent. There is a beautiful view of the valley from both the winery and the restaurant Roca. Our lunch at Roca was amongst the best we had anywhere in our two week tour of... More

It has the most beautiful view of the Franchhoek Valley. Very nice service and the food is good. You can taste wine at the winery before going in to the restaurant. They have a lovely area in the open to eat under umbrellas and enjoy the view and a lovely sunny day. Well worth a visit
