It was a beautiful place. We pay R30 per person for viewing the museum house. They provide a catalog for explaining the items in the house. Very nice. They also have wine tasting packages. They have a few restaurants in the venue as well.

A well maintained piece of South Africa’s rich history. The unique Cape Dutch architectural design, the century old oaks, the stunning views of the bay and vineyards, the cobblestone and grit walk ways, the beautiful displays in the main house as well as in the barns and especially the inner courtyard with its shallow pool combine to make this a personal favorite. Then of course the restaurant absolutely compliments the venue with a great menu.

Very nice location and grounds. I found the tour groups to be too large. It was hard to move around and understand the tour guide. The wine tasting afterwards was also difficult because the groups are too large.

It was an ok 🍷 tasting and a very disorganized tour of the winery I think overpriced for the service. Later we went on a different 🍷 tasting location and in retrospect I would skip this one.

If you are coming to Cape Town for a holiday, this is definitely a place that you will have to stop at. Purely for the history and beauty of it this wine farm. The Guided tours are interesting as they explain the process of the wines they produce. The tours allow for wine tasting as well as the wine paring. The guides are very patient and are always interacting with there groups. I think i enjoyed the wine tasting the best as our guide explained every wine i had and paired it to a chocolate which definitely made the difference. THIS IS A MUST GO TO...

If you come to Cape Town and only visit one place, this would have to be it. Purely for the history and beauty of it. Its an NPO, which means all wine sold is not for profit to private, but to preserve the land and maintain the jobs created here. Loved the visit.

Nice experience to understand more about the family that started this winery, how they lived, entertained and serviced the world with fine wine. One of a time experience. Plus the grounds are just gorgeous, nestled in the valley with the mountains in the back drop.

See how the dutch settlers used to live. A few interesting antiques and paintings. You have to pry and motivate the staff for more info. You are handed an old catalogue showing everything on display, but not informative at all.

It is one of Cape Towns Constancia wineries. The tour is first followed by wine tasting. The wine cellar is quite large, so you can see it aging in the cellar.There are 5 types of wine tasting, all of which are affordable. The white wine tastes bad and the more red it tastes.
