Review Creation Wines - Hermanus

Wow, absolutely stunned at the amazing experience Creation offers. The out of this world wines are accompanied by stellar service. The flavours of the food pairings with the wines are a match made in heaven and both Jeane and her trainee went out of their way to make this the best cellar door experience I've had in South Africa.

Wonderful service coupled with exceptional views and countless beautiful statues. The restaurant is picturesque and we loved every minute. Certainly our best experience in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Our breakfast was excellent as well (would recommend the poached eggs!). 10/10

Was an amazing experience to visit what is known as 1 of the best wine estates in the world, also no1 in Africa. Tasted and bought some amazing wines too. This vineyard and the hemel en arde valley needs to be a must visit within Cape Town.

Amazing experience with the pairing menu. Outstanding dishes were the Trout and Springbok but quite honestly all pairings were marvellous.

We came back for the 2nd year in a row, to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary, year 1 was honeymoon. We had the best experience, especially the food and wine pairing. Out waiter Tinashe went above and beyond to make our experience unique and memorable. See you next year.

We tried the Creation experience with multiple meals and wine to taste and it was really great ! Service was perfect, food and pairings were perfect, the only thing would be that it was too long… 3 hours to experience a lunch is kinda too much when you have to hit the road while on vacation :-/ if you are staying in this area for a few days, that can be a great opportunity but if you have a lot of road to make after, maybe order something else than the experience :-)

We went for breakfast. Interesting to pair breakfast with wine. It was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. It was the fluffiest omelette ever! The views were beautiful and the service very good. Also thank you for making our 20th wedding anniversary special. We really appreciate the extra effort! The amount of effort that goes into everything. The wine perfume on the menu, the garden around you. Nothing is left untouched. It will be a fix visit when we visit South Africa.

We had an incredible experience at this georgous boutique wine estate. We were a tour group of 11px and had a wine tasting and lunch. The service was outstanding, the wines incredible and the food was superb. I will definitely be back with another tour group and recommend this estate for cosy romantic lunches with a partner or family celebration as well as a stop over to delight tourists. Beautiful and tranquil surroundings and world class service and food and wine pairings.

I haven’t visited Creation in a number of years, and decided I had to make it our first stop, for lunch on our 2 night stay in Hermanus. We called to make a reservation en route from Stellenbosch but got cut off twice due to our poor reception on the road. They went ahead and made our reservation none the less with limited information, and made our reservation under “couldn’t get a name” which we thought was quite amusing. They set up a lovely little table under the trees, amongst the Fynbos and accommodated us for their famous food and wine pairing. It was EXCEPTIONAL. Victor looked after us and his wine knowledge was fantastic, and his hospitality outstanding! Can’t wait for our next visit!

We booked for the wine pairing experience. Expecting the usual 5 wines with a piece of food to accompany it. We had however, booked for a discovery menu that had wine paired with it. After the initial adjustment we settled in for the experience. Although the set price for the entire menu is available one can also choose ‘chapters’ within the menu and pay for them individually. This was a nice touch and is appreciated. The interior of the restaurant is amazing but what made this a memorable experience was the service. Although there were many waiters the area was not crowded. We had two waiters Artwell and Therodora (unsure about spelling) who assisted us. Items that were used were quietly and quickly removed from the table. Information about the food was short and concise. The differentiating factor was the manner in which waiters engaged with each other. If they needed an item someone else was using they stood and waited for it till it became available. They did not compete for or argue over anything and the energy of the space was a good one.
