“Here's a spot where the wine flows as freely as the conversation. The setting is pure Stellenbosch charm, all vineyards and mountain vistas; and while the restaurant can get lively, the staff handles it all with South African grace. It strikes me as a restful choice, especially for families or anyone keen on a genuine farm experience.”
