Simon's At Groot Constantia - Cape Town

This was such a beautiful place to visit the architecture was especially Captivatin. I would recommend visiting on a Sunday. I highly recommend combining wine tasting with chocolate tasting. Heavenly

An absolute amazing experience. Highly recommend. Wine tasting and Cellar tour was above expectations, service and staff are top notch!

One of the most iconic wine farms on the South African wine scene is the Groot Constantia Wine Estate. This farms ' quality and legacy speaks for itself, and it 's a definite must-visit. There are numerous things to do from wine tastings, cellar tours and relaxing at one of the restaurants, to visiting the museum and learning the history of the farm and the Cape. We started off with a cellar tour and wine tasting, and thereafter proceeded to grab a late lunch at the Jonkerhuis (reviewed separately). The wine tasting was very casual and included a range of different varietals so you are almost guaranteed of finding something you like. Their cellar tours are scheduled for certain time slots which I can highly recommend you do, as you gain more respect for the wines after you realize all the work that goes into it. The tastings were affordable, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we had an overall great experience.

Always a treat. Staying in Constantia it’s easy to take for granted the sheer size of this estate so close to Cape Town, not to mention the history and legacy it hosts. I’m an eager fan of their reds, and the whites are just as inviting. The tasting room is spacious, generous in its pour and most importantly, they let you take your glass home. Taking home with you a piece of their history coupled with your new memory. I love taking visiting friends and family to the estate, not only for tastings, but for walks around the vineyard with my furry friends just after sunrise. Two great eateries on the Estate too!

The oldest wine farm in South Africa has certainly not forgotten how to make tired wines! A visit to their wine tasting room will be time that we will spend (at least one hour), followed by lunch in Simon's restaurant you will not regret! @grootconstantia @simons_restaurant
