Oak Valley Estate. — Attraction in Theewaterskloof Local Municipality

Oak Valley is a hidden gem! The farm is as the name implies, a valley of oaks. The views are absolutely breath-taking. We met Keeno at the tasting room and he is incredibly knowledgeable for his age.

We arrived in the afternoon, the gentleman walked towards us with a large smile, welcoming us with enthusiasm.

The absolute magnificent star of the show is in the tasting room, Gordon Basson's wine knowledge is exceptional. A special treat is his sense of humor and how he engages with clientele. Here is an eloquent future sommelier that will make South Africa proud and that does a brilliant job at selling these excellent wines.

Delicious wine, great service and beautiful food definitely makes this peaceful venue an absolute MUST.
