Avontuur Wine Estate — Attraction in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

I took my husband and mother in law for a first time dinner at their restaurant for his birthday. It was an OK first time experience. Three of us ordered Bobotie (we are all foodie and loves Bobotie). ..and their Bobotie was on the drier side with some big lumps of mince found inside the bobotie. The rice also abit too dry to our palette. It was a nice presentation though. We also ordered Gin and Tonic which the Gin (Drunken Horse)is produce in the farm. We are already familiar with those Gin (we love the Gin), however they served it with unripped lemon thus it made quite a different taste to the G&T which I didn't enjoy at all and could not finish it. Unfortunately, due to the venue has stable around it, you may expect some companies (flies) the moment your foods are served on your table. They do provide the flies fan for your table though. The front of house needs abit of polish in welcoming and communicating with the customer..he is a bit on the stiff side :) The waiter also need a bit of knowledge polish of what the restaurant has to offer, so when we asked about recommendation or advise, they will be able to have a polished answer. The food prices are balance with it's portion. Thank you for the experience, we will give a second try...

I have never been so disgusted with any wine tasting/farm service in my life. When my fiancé and I got there the service was already off putting. Not even a greeting. When we asked for the menu it was handed to us with little to no care. After having a look, and deciding we’ll have a go at the food no guidance was provided on whether we can have a seat or not. We asked for a seat and were sent in two directions. When we chose a seat the waiter asked us if we won’t rather want to move to a different seat. We went to have a look and the table was excessively large. Once we were seated again he asked us for another time if we don’t want to rather move somewhere else. He handed us one menu in the process and suddenly engaged in conversation with other staff leaving us unattended to. After almost a full day of exploring the wine lands area, this was by far the most disappointing experience in over 17 years at a restaurant...

Avontuur is a wine farm with a view, horses and don't forget the wine. The iconic horses are in the nearby fields as you enter the wine estate. Ask the very well informed and helpful and knowledgeable staff about the horses that make the farm extra special and stand out. They have the most delicious parings that you must try. So make sure to get an Uber because the wine and parings and so good you would want to try them all in one sitting. Try one of the best, most famous and deadly delicious nougat wine and champagne parings. They also have a biltong and wine paring aswell as olives, pretzels and biltong paring. Leave space for dessert and a strong cup of coffee. You must try their brandy filled chocolate cups. Either vanilla or chocolate flavors are available. Pick your favorite. Best to book ahead. They are very popular, you don't want...
