One does not realise when driving to the tasting hall quite what awaits before actually entering. Its only ince inside that you realise that you might be staying somewhat longer than expected. Besides the individual handmade chocolates, they have the most delicious smoked olives as well as the creamiest gorgonzola which you can sample along with, ofcoure, tasting their wines.... More

We started our visit by taking the wine tasting menu in the cellar - we had never heard of Lourensford wines and were more than a little impresses - in fact we came away with several bottles. The wine was accompanied by a cheese and olive tasting plate so, you guessed it, we came away laden with cheeses and olives.... More

You will not be disappointed, it seems to improve everytime we visit, you can get a good meal. Then take a walk in the vineyard. It's breathe taking, the view of the mountains.

I enjoyed this wine estate. The tasting experience wasn't the best we had while in the area but it was ok. The gardens are beautiful and the tasting took place in the beautiful garden whichI did enjoy. There were also olives and cheeses to taste which was nice and a coffee roastery which we loved. Lourensford is a great experience... More

We arrived earlier in the day as to set up the venue etc.. I arrived there at around 11h15 to drop a few things off, I carried it... More
