Awesome. Small boutique vineyard run by a wonderful gentleman called Dieter, who is so helpful and deserves all his successes! Thank you for a wonderful tour. We look forward to drinking the wines we bought. Thank you more

There is not much I think I can add to the other reviews apart from to say that we had a fab time visiting the Lynx winery. We were taken round by one of the two people who create the wines and their passion really showed through. We were the only people there and ended up staying over an hour... more

Dieter is a consumate host at this small vineyard. Dieter made a private appointment to meet with us on a Sunday, and treat us to a private visit, tour and tasting. An excellent experience, discussing the wines that Dieter has so very personally been involved in creating. It was excellent getting this insight into the creation of a vineyard and... more

We visited this place, purely on the reviews on Tripadvisor and we had a brilliant morning. It is the second smallest wine producing estate in the area but it produces some fabulous wine. When we got there, there was another South African couple tasting wine - and the owner very kindly showed all 4 of us the cellar where the... more

On our recent trip to South Africa for the Lions rugby series, we spent a few days in Franschhoek to experience the food and wine this wonderful part of the country has to offer. Based on a recommendation from a friend we made time to visit the Lynx winery. Having called ahead, Dieter made time to host our visit on... more

I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to Lynx Wines. We decided to visit having sampled their award winning Shiraz in a restaurant in Franschhoek. The short trip out there was very well worth it and a fantastic contrast to the large mass producing estates. Dieter, the owner and winemaker couldn't have been more hospitable. We ordered 3 mixed cases at the... more

Our fourth and final winery of the day. This one is a bit off the beaten track so we were lucky the guest house owner had recommended going to Lynx. It’s a tiny winery and although the owner was busy filling barrels when we drove up, he took time off to show us around his cellar giving us a detailed... more

We did 2 days of winery tours in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, and Lynx stood out as our favourite stop. The whole area is beautiful and full of stellar wineries with great wines, so you really can't go wrong. However, a lot of the wineries in the valleys are Big Business, and after a while you can't get over the feeling... more

We come to Franschhoek at least once a year for the good food and wine. There are a lot of good wineries to choose from but we tend to like the smaller more "boutique" ones. On this trip we were lucky enough to visit Lynx Wines on the outskirts of the town, located on the Wellington turnoff. Dieter, the winemaker,... more
