Glen Carlou has a state of the art tasting center that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the vineyard and mountains. You can walk over the glass floor and peek down into the cellar or visit their dramatic Hess Art Collection filled with evocative sculptures, paintings and installations by South African and international artists. Tastings here are more generous than most vineyards at R25/10 wines. They also have a restaurant that specializes in tender meat dishes including venison and pork belly (11am-3pm Tues-Sun, mains R100). The weekends can get quite busy, so book in advance to ensure a table with a view.
