Vrede en Lust Estate

Avoid. Staff are poorly trained and just want to get you through the conveyor belt. Glasses were warm as they had none left so fresh out of the dishwasher and also chipped. Bill was wrong and 2 of the non wine drinkers didn’t even get chance to order a drink. Pored red wine into used wine glasses. Zero refinement and like going to a fast food winery!

Every single time I visit Savoye Restaurant, it is the best experience ever!!! The atmosphere is gentle & tranquil, the gardens & sparkling pool are beautiful, the service is outstanding & friendly & the food is exceptional. Oh & the wines & bubbly are sublime. It is such a privilege to go there & be pampered & taken such good care of. I'd go there every day if it were possible. Gen, Mikey & Russell...much gratitude & love.

We did a horse riding trek through the vineyard and up into the national park- foothills of the mountain. Our guide was very friendly and the horses, rhino, tash, zahara were all perfect for us.,it was a very lovely experience and we’d come back again.

A fabulous end to a lovely day in Franschoek on the wine tram. Wonderful bespoke wine tasting and cellar tour hosted brilliantly by the incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic Jade. Some absolutely lovely reds which we took a few with us. Cheers

A bit of a hidden gem being located beside a busy road junction. Don’t let this put you off Ate breakfast here on 3 occasions and would highly recommend The menu is very comprehensive allowing a good choice. Great combination of friendly staff and excellent food,

We visited the stunning Vrede en Lust Wine Estate when visiting Franschhoek, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to South Africa. We were on the Wine Tram, with one of the stops being Vrede en Lust Wine Estate. We had pre-booked one of their Cheese & Wine pairings, and although we were a little late, the table was all set on their stunning balcony looking over their vineyards and the Franschhoek Valley. The estate has been in the same family for over 100 years, and you could clearly see they are passionate about producing high-quality wines. The wine tasting was excellent, and Noxi was absolutely superb and talking through the wines and the local cheese pairings that accompanied the wine. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, and really made the experience even more memorable. The cheeses were all local and delicious, and the wines were perfectly chosen to complement them. Even if on paper it wouldn’t be a choice I would have made, they all worked incredibly well together. If you're looking for a unique and delicious wine-tasting experience, I highly recommend adding Vrede en Lust to your itinerary if visiting Franschhoek. The wine and cheese pairing is a must-try!
