Exceptional wine estate! The sheer beauty of the estate superseded my expectations and I tried to capture the beauty in the pictures I took.
The wine and champagne tasting was presented by a most friendly and knowledgeable staff member; and although not a wine drinker I rather enjoyed the varied flavours.
The buildings kept to their originality and the grounds were extremely clean-cut. There is a quaint little deli to buy local produce and other yummy goodies and the most exquisitely designed restaurant.
There is plenty to see, take a walk or ride a bike along the carefully marked trails.
I was exceptionally impressed but more in awe of, well just about everything.
You will not be disappointed.
Beautiful place, rooms big but a bit cold and decoration slightly dated. Friendly and helpful service. Few restaurants on the compound so you don’t always need to go off premises for dinner.
A great place to visit.
Lots of restaurants to choose from.
Ample parking.
Trail ride options.
Stunning views from any restaurant
Beautifully appointed rooms, warm and welcoming staff, lush setting, stunning restaurants (especially Stoep!), award winning wines and bubbly to purchase on the premises. Simply lovely experience.
Lived our stay here. We spent a few nights in the villas. Great coffee spots and excellent restaurants.
A wine estate, in the Paarl. Awsome views of the mountains. There are 2 restaurants and a Farm Grocer to buy fresh products and gifts. Lots of space to walk and cycling around. I will for sure go back
The wine tasting service was lacking. Our 1st bubbly was explained to us and then our server vanished. It took us a while to order our tastings and we waited for long for the bill.
My heart place, Boland, did not disappoint. We only tasted and bought wine. Now we are good to go back to the Free State. 😁
After scrambling on nearby Paarl Rock we decided on an impromptu visit to Laborie Wine Estate.
The security guard was super friendly and very welcoming, the grounds are beautiful and the character buildings are in pristine condition. Despite the car park being quite full it didn’t feel overly crowded which made for a relaxing and pleasant experience.
After having been shown the interior of the manor house we were seated on the veranda. Instead of the seemingly more popular wine tasting we ordered a bottle of the Laborie Rose along with the mixed charcuterie platter, both of which were delicious and well priced.
We will definitely stop by again next time we’re in the area!
I've recently moved to Paarl, and seeing Laborie is across from where I work, it was convenient to just pop around. I've been to Stoep twice, and every time, the food, the setting and the service was outstanding. I went to the new cocktail bar called Suzanne, and though I thought it was a bit pricey for locals, it was really lovely.
