Great wine, brandy, cognac, and gin tasting. They have a great variety to choose from. We did the passport tasting giving you a selection of 5 different drinks. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. It was a great experience.
The brandy tasting with chocolate pairing was good. I would say the 5yr and Belgian chocolate was my favourite followed by the cognac and white chocolate pairing. The place lacked a bit of ambience or atmosphere, hence why it didn't get a five star. The lady who helped us was very friendly and jovial.
I was so in the mood for a semi-sweet Pearly Bay. Then checked online for their wine emporium operating time's. Their website indicates on a Saturday they close at 16:30..well I'm here and it's closed..hence the one star .
The experience is rather underwhelming, this is not a wine farm with vineyards, but rather a cellar & tasting room. KWV is a wine producer, they buy grapes to make their products, they don't seem to grow their own. Staff were knowledgeable but didn't seem too keen to share or follow-up with us, I'm not sure if this was because it was a Sunday afternoon or because it was near closing time. Facilities are rather dated. Mentors collection is worth a try.
Kwv is my home, my hope, my future
What a great place to visit. Definitely worth checking out. The cellar tour was quite interesting and was intimate as we had a small group of 4. We visited on a Saturday so we couldn't go to the distillery tour so best you go on a weekday if you wish to encounter the liquor side of KWV. The wine tasting after the tour was excellent and we had such a great selection given to us. The KWV Emporium is so reasonably priced, including the seperate tasting and pairing packages on offer. Staff were so friendly and considerate especially towards children. Definitely a kid friendly place albeit there isn't a kids play area. Will definitely return on my next visit.
Their service is great and the tastings excellent
I often visit with tourists from all over the world and a common remark from them is, "That was the best presented wine tasting we have had anywhere in the world" Not to mention that the KWV is iconic in the South African wine industry and that they have a tremendous variety of quality products.
Did the tea and chocolate tasting and it was a wonderful alternative to sitting in a restaurant and drinking a pot of tea. The combinations of chocolate and gourmet tea really was delicious.
I loved the selection of wine tasting/pairing options.
Great place ! see pictures
Awesome place , friendly staff , will recommend it ,
Good selection of interesting wine and brandy pairings.
This was really an awesome tasting expierience. I recommend this place to anybody who is interested in wine or brandy tasting.
Kick started the wine industry in 1900's with Pinotage and now perfected the pairing culture
Pretty average experience, the wines were good but nothing stood out really. The staff are very friendly though.
