Beautiful wine farm with the most amazing views. The history here is just really wonderful to know about. We enjoyed lunch at their restaurant prior to our wine tasting which was superb. The wine tasting itself was perfect, we learned so much and enjoyed amazing wines.
Beautiful property with stunning views. This is one of the oldest wineries in South Africa, going all the way back to the 17th century and has Dutch colonial style buildings.
If you go for wine tasting, it starts at 10:00 and is hosted in the building just behind Simon's Restaurant. Their wine tasting is predominantly red wine, with a few white wine, rosés and fortified wine options.
You get a choice of five wines, and get to keep the wine glass at the end.
Their wines are excellent, and worth investing in to age. My favourites were the lady of abundance and the merlot.
With such a beautiful setting, it would be nice if the wine tasting could be done outside, as it can get very hot and noisy inside.
Fantastic wine tasting experience. Beautiful estate, large open seating, and friendly service. The older wines are very, very good. Definitely worth buying a case of the new bottles if you have a place to store them for 10-15 years.
Easily accessible via the blue bus (of the red bus tour). Beautiful grounds. Museum and winery tour and tasting available for a fee. Victor gave us a great tour and tasting - both humorous and informative.
The Groot Constantia estate is a gorgeous stop that my family and I enjoyed while on a sightseeing bus tour around Cape Town. The restaurants, the museums, and the wine tasting options provided here are all remarkable opportunities to engage with the scrumptious, time-tested splendors of South Africa. We even walked the vineyards, enjoying the beautiful weather and sights of this local treasure.
An amazing place.. Went 2 times in 4 days. It is such a calm and peaceful place with good food as well. Not only a winery but a place to enjoy the day and calmness. Highly recommended.
We dropped off our wonderful and happy party off at GROOT CONSTANTIA on our incredible CAPE SIDECAR TOURS. We were all warmly welcomed by all the staff, and they immediately settled our clients into a wine tasting. Thank you GROOT Constantia, truly appreciated.
We booked a wine tasting here and it was really good. I can really, we did a guided tour as well.
Groot Contantia is not just the oldest wine estate in South Africa, it's also the best known of the lot. Having the historical advantage over similar establishments in South Africa, Groot sets out to impress visitors with its stunning location at the top of a hill overlooking Cape Town and the natural beauty of the estate. Hugging the slopes, its vineyards extend as far as the eye can see. The buildings, whitewashed and always painted fresh, hark back to past glory days. The restaurants have great views of the surroundings, not to mention a rich variety of savory and sweet dishes. And of course, there's the wine.
It was raining but the sun came out eventually just to brighten our day. The venue is beautiful.... Loved the vintage look in Simon's restaurant
