"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!"

"Wow wow wow. Stunning venue, amazing customer service. Thank you for a great experience."

"This is our third time doing the wine safari, and once again, Waterford did not disappoint! I cannot recommend this experience enough, but be sure to go there hungry and with enough time to fully enjoy the experience, which lasts about 3+ hours. You get to sample a wonderful variety of their wines in different settings around the estate. The settings are beautiful, and the wines are fantastic. All the staff are friendly and helpful, even when we contacted them from the UK. This has been our best wine tasting experience in South Africa, and we will definitely return on our next visit - thank you."

"What an outstanding experience! Waterford is clearly producing some exceptional wines - there's no doubt about that! Seeing the process and the inner workings of true artistry in winemaking was fascinating, especially for someone like me who knows very little about it. However, the highlight was the vineyard tour in the Land Rover! Our guide was beyond superb: knowledgeable, and professional, and he struck the perfect balance between giving us space and inviting us back to try the endless Waterford creations. The wine safari is something we’ll be recommending to anyone who will listen for a very long time!"

“If you wanted to turn a wine novice onto the joys of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, you could do worse than pour them a glass of this flagship red. Pure, perfumed and refined, with subtle lead pencil and cut grass aromas, piercing blackcurrant fruit and just the right amount of oak sweetness.”

"We enjoyed a combination of the wine tasting and the Wine and Chocolate Experience. The wines paired with chocolate were definitely the highlight - they tasted incredible! Our waiter, Lauren, was friendly and knowledgeable, and we even joined her for a complimentary cellar tour."

"Antigo by Waterford is the latest stroke of genius from the team at this esteemed Stellenbosch winery. Showcasing the beauty, complexity, and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon blended with classic Bordeaux varietals, this wine glides over the palate with a luxurious depth that outshines any other in its class."

"The Wine Drive Safari with Zach was outstanding! He made the experience truly memorable. The wines were delicious and paired beautifully with the food. The chocolate finish with The Jem was a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend this experience and the Waterford Estate wines!"
