"We had an absolutely incredible wine safari experience! Our tour guide, Jeremy, was amazing; he knew everything and provided so much depth about the estate! Our time in the barrel room, enjoying wine tastings alongside a divine charcuterie board, was truly memorable. We cannot wait to return on our next visit to South Africa!"

"The estate is absolutely stunning, featuring picturesque architecture both inside and out, and the lovely inner courtyard provides a perfect setting to appreciate the surroundings. The staff was friendly without being overly intrusive. While the pricing is a step up compared to nearby estates, it is still very fair, and the experience offers excellent value for the money spent."

"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!"

"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!"

"This was the first wine tasting we did in South Africa and it was a fantastic location with a great wine selection. We enjoyed each one and were taken through each by the team at Waterford with a lot of knowledge and expertise as to how each wine is created. The Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent."

"Waterford Estate has always held a special place in my heart. The estate is stunning, and their wines are delicious - and I’m glad to say they’ve only gotten better since my last visit. This time, I brought my wife for her birthday to SALT at Waterford, and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant takes full advantage of the beautiful courtyard, with tables positioned perfectly to give everyone a scenic view. Of course, no visit to Waterford is complete without tasting their wines, so we opted for a tasting alongside our lunch. They offer various tasting options, but we chose one with a wide selection of wine styles, including three wines paired with artisan chocolates. Lunch at SALT was incredible - a must-experience for everyone. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious! Our standout dishes were the Swordfish, Hantam Rack of Lamb, and Grilled Beef Rib Eye, though I doubt you could go wrong with any choice. I also loved the variety of salts on the table, which added a unique touch to the meal. Our waiter made the experience even better. From the warm welcome at the door to his attentive, friendly service, he was outstanding, and his wine knowledge added an extra layer to our tasting. My wife and I would like to extend a huge thank you to Chef Beau du Toit and the entire team for making our time at SALT so special and memorable."
