King of Chenins Had an enjoyable wine tasting experience at this estate made better by a knowledgeable Vuyo, the sommelier and host. He had a great sense of humour, was interesting and knowledgeable and assisted us.
Pleasant surroundings and vineyards right outside the tasting room.

Excellent Wine Tasting, Beautiful Farm Of all the wineries we visited in Stellenbosch, this is probably our favourite. The collection of delicious wines, combined with a beautiful pastoral setting, and knowledgeable staff made the experience perfect.

We came in expecting a 'normal' wine tasting, but were treated to a unique "off the books" tasting, curated by our server. It may have been because it was still early in the day, and it wasn't too busy, but we were thrilled all the same.

The tasting consisted of 5 wines, including some very expensive special vintages, and even one that wasn't available on the sales sheet, yet. All of them were exceptional, so much so that we bought two bottles to take home with us.

I spoke briefly with Mr. Ken Forrester himself, and chatted about the estate, the industry, and the worldwide market. He was a very congenial man, and our chat made the experience all the more personal.

Well done, Ken Forrester Wines!

Highly recommended.

Excellent experience and tasting Excellent service and knowledge during a tasting. The 'best of both worlds' tasting is a real winner. I recommed the FMC (old vine as well), and the Renegade and the Gypsy are great reds as well. Excellent experience and value for money.

Fantastic views to enjoy some great wines We visited for a tasting and spent a very relaxed hour is so enjoying the wines and fantastic views of the Helderberg mountains.

We went for the Icon tasting (R150pp) which included The FMC, Gypsy, Three Halves and 2007 Chein Blanc (they were out of the dessert wine). All the wines were good but The FMC & Three Halves were the stand outs for us. Unfortunately they were out of cheese so we could enjoy a platter with our tasting.

It was great that we were left to move through the tasting at our own pace but the service was very good.

A lovely afternoon enjoying some very go
