Our various Tasting areas will satisfy everyone's requirements:
Wine Tasting Bar
An oval bar for the express taster. Here you can have impromptu tastings requiring no pre-bookings, while either standing or sitting underneath a uniquely designed chandelier.
Wine Tasting Lounge
The lounge is a place to linger longer, with comfortable couches and a fireplace. Big glass doors lead onto the terrace, where one can soak in the summer sun and gaze over water features and gardens.

This venue on the first floor is set aside for exclusive tastings and accommodates bigger groups. The 270° view showcases Constantiaberg, Elephant's Eye, and Steenbergs sweeping vineyards, with a clear view of the waves breaking at Muizenberg on a beautiful day.
