Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visit many wine farms and buy a lot of wine. We have more than 2000 bottles in our off site cellar.
We were looking forward to tasting and purchasing some more Hamilton Russell wine in their most magnificent setting.
We were met by an unhelpful and uninspiring young lady. We asked questions about purchasing different vintages we got a no…. This is it. We asked for some water…. We were told they only had tap.
We never tasted anything bought 6 bottles of Chardonnay and left.
Highly disappointing. So many other beautiful wine farms with warm and welcoming service with stunning wine in the valley.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! Rude Rude Rude. Will never come back. Would not recommend given the wonderful estates in the area. Try Creation or Iona, or any other farm instead. Most disappointed.
@Hamilton Russell you need to take a long hard look at the way you treat your clients! Disgraceful.

After spending a number of days in the area, Hamilton Russell was our last stop on the Hemel en Aarde valley vineyards. We specifically saved it until last due to its high regard in the wine industry. HOWEVER, what a disappointment. It must be said the wines were excellent as expected, but our presence at the tasting room felt nothing more than an irritation to the staff. Complete disinterest from the "wine expert" and although a lovely setting we were keen to get away... Some much better experiences up the valley.

Ludicrous prices for wines. Just goes to show what some consumers will pay to be recognized. The presenter of the tasting was most annoying, nobody was given a chance to say anything unless she was interrupted. :-)

Gorgeous wines in a magnificent setting. It was a cold winter day and the tasting room has a massive warm fireplace. Its an intimate space and my wife and I were the only ones there at the time. This is where we had a taste of SA's best pinot noir and one of the best chardonnays. I think its a must for visitors to the Hemel and Aarde valley.

The scene: Being fans of Hamilton Russell wine, we could not drive past Hermanus without visiting.
Positives: a scenic drive in, leads you to a beautiful setting where you can sit outside and enjoy the calm, tranquil surrounding whilst tasting fantastic wine.
Negatives: with only one host to hand she was stretched when having to serve multiple tables, leading to patchy service
Top tip: if it's a sunny day do not miss the opportunity to sit outside whilst enjoying a lovely glass of the Hamilton Russell Chardonnay, it's our favourite.

Today Anthony Hamilton Russel opend his celler for showing us his unique collection of Chardonnays, Pinots and Pinotages which definitely belonged to the best I‘ve ever drunk from the Cape!
Also the magic of the place and the friendliness and geniality of the host were exceptional - I would not want to have missed this experience today, Thank you a lot!

We were a bit worried as we arrived only 25 minutes prior to their closing on a Saturday but we were greeted and served warmly. Only after the first 2 pours were we reminded of their imminent closing but told not to rush and how to request the closed gate opening on our departure.
Agree with other reviewers that wine purchases are expensive by SA standards but the tasting fee is only 50 rand so no reason to skip having a nice experience. I am giving them a full 5 rating as they should be evaluated for the wine tasting experience rather than the price of their wines. We experienced zero pressure to buy any bottles.
Quality of wine is high and when we later dined at the Wine Glass near the ocean we noted that HR wines were featured in their premium wine flight selections.

What a beautiful vineyard! We sat outside on the deck overlooking the pond and vineyard for our wine tasting. It was gorgeous! We had a lovely wine tasting and enjoyed the wines very much. They also have a nice indoor area that is small but boasts a nice wood burning fireplace. The restroom was very clean, too.

Hi, we are visiting in February 2016 and would like to make contact with you. Please can you provide an email address for correspondence. We are wine guides in Burgundy and therefore have a keen interest in Pinot and Chardonnay from other wine regions. We are following a recommendation from one of our clients and have researched your wines on line. Look forward to hearing from you Joy & Robert Burgundy Discovery
