Nederburg

S 33 42.999 E 019 00.218

Nederburg is one of South Africa's most acclaimed vineyards. The scenic grounds offer expansive views of the Drakenstein Mountains and are centered around a historic Cape Dutch manor house, built in 1800 and beautifully maintained. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay all day. The professional staff will graciously welcome you for a tasting, and picnics are available from November through March (by appointment only). In addition to tasting some of their award-winning wines they also offer goats' milk cheese pairings (R30-R40) and brandy tastings (R20). Cellar tours (R25) start with a sparkling wine and include a 90-minute tour and guided tasting.
