The tasting room is intimate, but not cramped and you need to make a booking to go for a tasting. Our host, Lauren, was not only friendly but also knowledgeable. She shared insights about their organic and biodynamic practices, showing their commitment to sustainable winemaking. Reyneke offers a range of tasting options to suit your budget, from more wallet-friendly gems to their top-tier selection.

Years of searching eventually identified HISTAMINE as the culprit. If you are allergic to bee stings this might be you! Johan’s organic wines are like a blessing from heaven 🙏🍷and delicious. Dankie,...

One quickly learns that he does not only sell wines but he also builds relationships through his stories. This was hands down the best wine tasting experience I have had and I hope you will too. I will...
