What an amazing experience at Mellasat. The Grande synergy sounds expensive but is so worth it because of the amazing wine that you get with each course. Fantastic service! You MUST try the salmon fish cakes and babotie samoosas 😍and of course the famous white Pinotage.

Lovely wines, home of the White Pinotage! Enjoy your tasting and have a bottle outside under the lustrous trees. Platters and Pop-up restaurant available.

Stunning mountain and Vineyards views. Great wines and home to the White Pinotage! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It was a sweltering hot day but sitting under a big old oak, sipping wine and eating a beautiful cheese board was the ultimate way to cool down.

Saturday Synergy wine pairing brunch was very intimate and very well staffed. The wines were poured without reservation. The food was bite-sized or tapas sized - though full portions were available. The secluded space in an old Cape Dutch farm gives a very strong impression of what winery living was like before the discovery of South African wines after 1994. Well worth visiting for the old school experience. Very unspoiled.

......our first encounter with this establishment was already a foretaste of good things to expect! At the end of September we had emailed them to book our reservation with the intention of visiting on the 15th Oct. 2017 we were blown away that the very same afternoon we had a reply from Tessa confirming our reservation! Wow! Very impressive! As the time came nearer we discovered that we had a more important engagement on the 15th Oct. so we phoned to ask if we can alter our reservation to a week before again we had the opportunity to speak to Tessa who was most obliging to make our visit possible for Lunch time on the 8th Oct. and guess what? Tessa happened to be our host so we met her in person which turned out to be absolute-lii magnificent as Tessa turned out to be an outstanding host, very knowledgeable with every detail of every wine she poured us to taste! We had come to experience a Sunday Lunch with a difference, Wine tasting 3 whites Seraphic, White Pinotage, Chardonnay & 3 reds Rose, Shiraz, Revelation plus a Platter with cured meats, cheeses, olives & breads and oh yes Chocolate brownies! It was delightful-ii delicious and very filling! The only let down was that there coffee machine was out of order as we real-lii needed to have an espresso after all the wines but that wasnt to serious we knew that the Wine-lands Engen was on the way back to Cape Town were we could and did stop to have that coffee! This venue is set in a Picturesque wine yard with beautiful gardens filled with large oak trees and lots of green grass! The reception area is very well decorated in a real winery way, although the tasting room is rather small but very cos-ii with a pleasant fire-place and seen that it was a bit chillii today they had a log-fire going filling the room with a very romantic ambiance! This place comes very high-lii recommended by us and its worth a visit some or other time from all wine lovers!................its our opinion that this venue will do well if they have a full on restaurant as you are unable to order a more solid meal but we are told that they are working towards this for the future!............Clap! Clap! Clap!....Feb. 2020...And we are back again this time to redeem our WiKi-Deal Voucher for the Vintners Platter, a glass of wine and an Exquisite Wine Tasting Experience. With the time-slot that we choose we had the whole tasting room to ourselves and that included having and enjoying the full attention of Elzaan and Gaymari who where absolute-lii on point in every way. Very knowledgeable about every wine that they served us. We even had the thrilling experience of visiting The Cemetery Of Forgotten Wines which occupies the entire basement under the tasting-room, an amazing encounter. We discovered once again that despite the fact that they dont have a dedicated and full-on restaurant they have week-lii & month-lii events that offers food & wine pairing, in winter they have a month long soup & wine pairing, they have a Spanish-Day where everything centers around real Spanish traditions. They even have a Spanish red wine in the Mellasat Range Tempranillo, a true-lii well flavoured taste-ii wine. We all fell in love with it. On the 7th March 2020 they have Run The Vine & Tread The Grapes and on the 21st & 22nd March they have the Gourmet Burger & Wine Week-End. We believe The Picnic Days are incredibly awesome which we will definite-lii attend when next it takes place...The Landscapes around the whole estate are picturesque and beautiful....everything about this Boutique Wine Estate and venue rocks!.....

Another wonderful Club Members Day at Mellasat. Beautiful day for a special occasion when Stephen Richardson, his wife Janet and the staff treat their customers to a superb meal on the house.This year, despite being a little different due to Covid restrictions, was one of the best and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.Thanks to all at Mellasat.Maurice and Coral Meyer.

Home of the white pinotageThis white pinotage is an unique and interesting wine to taste. It may be a bit misleading as it tastes more like a chardonnay to me.The rest of the wines are a bit pricey yo be honest (but it is a boutique winerey). They wines are nice, but not spectacularin my opinion.The farm is beautiful, relaxing and quiet. A hidden gem I suppose. they also offer cheese platters to enjoy in yhe tranquil surroundings.

Nice small winery in a quiet area, although they installed speakers... Kinda sad as we’re not looking for a discotheque on a Sunday morning! Wines are average.

Our arrival at Mellasat Vineyards was uneventful mainly because it was on a Monday. The mood was tranquil and you could see that Covid had struck a big blow in terms of business. But, the wine tasting was informative and generous. They know their stuff. Relaxing under the majestic oak trees gave me such a feeling of gratitude and contendness. The wine compliments the holistic experience of relaxation and warmth. They are the home of white Pinotage. I was impressed!!!
