  Extremely disappointed in this place. Ordered the 7 wine tasting menu and served abandoned us for about 30 minutes between wines 4 and 5. We were on an aggressive timeline, wanting to experience as much of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek as possible in a short period. Never received apology for delay. Moreover, different server (who settled our bill) never asked how our experience was, meaning I had to resort to online reviews to give feedback. Setting, while grandiose, is somewhat sterile and less scenic than local counterparts, compounding the unhappiness of the extended stay.

  The restaurant and hotel are beautiful, the service and presentation is great, but we were definitely not impressed by the food. Since we had to drive all the way from Stellenbosch, it was definitely not worth the drive :-/

  La Motte is an amazing winery! It's been around since the 1600s and their wine is phenomenal. The landscape is beautiful and the tasting room is a mix between vintage and modern architecture. La Motte's staff is very friendly and has a lot of knowledge about all the different wines they offer. They make an excellent Merlot and Cab Sav!

  The quality of food and of course wine is outstanding. Visited for both breakfast and lunch, equally as good. During Summer, having lunch next to the pond, with a glass of Chardonnay, is highly recommended.

  I've always loved La Motte wines so you can imagine how excited I was to visit this venue! From start to finish it was an incredible experience. Having some wines in front of a crackling fire, the ladies helping with the tasting were incredibly friendly, and with such good quality wines..it is definitely worth the drive out! The wines are available for purchase and at quite good rates too. This lace is a must visit on your trip to Franschoek.

  The ambiance was exceptional inside the winery. Tasting was an absolute pleasure and wines were magnificent. A must do for anyone visiting the western cape. Outside the building is a lovely grassy area leading you to the restaurant and other areas of the farm. The entrance is a superb looking farm decorated with roses.

  A superb winelands experience! The stunning cellar and wine tasting room, beautiful gardens, restaurant with vaulted ceilings, magnificent mountain backdrop and art gallery combines to make this an unmissable experience when you visit Cape Town. If you have time to visit only one wine estate, then this could be it.
  
  For the energetic types there is a +- 5km steep circular hill walk - not tried by me! Bring walking shoes etc. if you want to walk.
