Yonder Hill Wines — Attraction in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

Purely on the positive reviews and the fact that we have driven past numerous time and longed to see the Ankole cows. I chose to take my overseas guests for wine tasting to Yonder Hill Winery. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly host. As my guests were arrival later my husband I thought we would peruse the displayed wine selection while we wait. We then wanted to order a cheese platter to go with wine tasting for our guests we were told that we needed to have ordered the cheese platter the day before. We were not given a rundown of the available wine pairing or even offered an alternative. Which is unbelievable seeing we were the only guests there at that time. I have since looked on their online site, no where does it mention that one should book cheese platters the day before.

Highly recommend for wine lovers, dog parents, and anyone who enjoys a laid-back, beautiful atmosphere with genuine hospitality. We’ll...

Extremely disappointed. We arrived there where it indicated open until 2pm on a Saturday. Arriving around 12 we rudely got told they closed. Asking why then is it stating on the door until 2pm; they said they shooting a movie. The lady at the tasting centre had an extremely arrogant attitude, not caring about customer service. I will not be back and most definitely will be advising people to not got there. If your priority is for a movie and not wine sales or tastings; then you dont deserve to exist as a business or have a tasting centre. Businesses have forgotten lessons during covid where business with poor service closed their doors. I have seen bigger wine estates go under. Such service must not be supported. We have been to numerous wine estates and this rates as one...
