"Had a wonderful experience at Waterford Estate. The wines were incredible, and the food was amazing. Our server, Megan, was a breath of fresh air, with such knowledge of the wines. Will will definitely be back."

"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!"

"We did the Porcupine Wine Walk, so we only had a light lunch, which was very tasty. The whole experience was fantastic! Zac was excellent, sharing his extensive knowledge and showing genuine interest in the wine estate and its offerings. The wine was also exceptional (so I was told, as I don’t drink), and the estate itself was lovely. We lingered longer, enjoying the sun along with the glorious wine, chocolate, and wine ordering. It was the best wine we've had in the region, and overall, the best experience - highly recommend!"

"Waterford hosted over 190 ladies in their beautiful, intimate courtyard. The carefully curated three-course set menu, paired with their amazing wines, was a delight at this event! The starter featured a deliciously light salad made with fresh tomatoes. The main dish was a delightful surprise! The pasta with chicken breast was cooked al dente and served hot. The dessert was equally refreshing. The service was absolutely excellent! Overall, I give it five stars!"

“Often among my favourite Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignons”
Tim Atkin
Master of Wine
"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."

"Perfect as always - and even the sun was out on a marvellous winter day - just the trees were lacking the leaves - lol - no wonder, it is August (winter)... so all was perfect like the last 20 times."
