Alongside the wine tastings on the crest of the Helshoogte Pass, you can try the estate's potstill brandy or take a tutored olive oil tasting. The Director's Reserve pair covers a Cabernet-led red blend and a white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. There's a restaurant at the winery, and a separate deli with a shop, café and children's play area.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Stellenbosch grows close to a third of South Africa's Cabernet Sauvignon, cooled by afternoon breezes off False Bay.
Grape
Chardonnay
Serious Chardonnay reached the Cape in the late 1970s in growers' luggage, smuggled in because official channels were too slow.
Style
Cap Classique
South African bottle-fermented sparkling wine began in Stellenbosch, with Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel in 1971.
