Oldenburg Vineyards

Probably the best wine tasting we’ve done to date both in terms of wine, location and service. We did the 8 elements tasting and all the wines were fantastic. The food platter they served was all locally sourced (and delicious) and the cheese was fantastic! Zachque was our host and he was so knowledgable, fun and made it very enjoyable. Stunning views and garden. 10/10 would recommend and ask for Zachque! We bought a bottle of the Una V Chardonnay and Merlot to take home.

We went for a wine tasting at Oldenburg Vineyards yesterday. I can highly recommend this experience. The tasting we participated in was for 6 wines at R470. A bit to the pricy side but worth every cent. The sommelier’s knowledge and passion was contagious and the wines are excellent. We also received a complimentary cheese tasting with local extra virgin olive oil, cracker and Tokara Calamata olives. Make sure to book in advance and allow enough time to relish in the beautiful views of Banghoek.

An absolute charm. Not just the wine - we had the vertical Syrah tasting (as we are very enthousiastic over the 2014 bottles we have at home - the view and location as well. The mountain range gives you the feeling of looking at a full private closen estate. So the mountain serves the wine and the experience. Staff is very nice and chatty with tons of knowledgable intel.

After a lovely experience at Rainbow’s End, my wife and I decided to head back downhill to try Oldenburg. We were greeted condescendingly asking if we had a reservation. We did not, but since 80% seats were empty, I asked if we could have wine poured without having to hear the story of each wine at any convenient seat. We were told “we don’t do that here, we offer a 1.5 hour experience, you can make a booking for tomorrow”. If you want a peaceful respectful experience, drive past Oldenburg and visit Rainbow’s End instead.

Chaque was an amazing host. We really enjoyed the 2014 Merlot and the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the Stone Ax 2022 Syrah. Extremely beautiful location as well. 10/10 would recommend

We had an exceptional time at Oldenburg - it was probably the best wine tasting I've ever done. The wine was incredible, the views were stunning and our sommelier Freda was absolutely outstanding - she was extremely knowledgable and just a great host. I couldn't recommend a visit to this vineyard enough!

During our stay in South Africa, we visited 33 wine estates. If I had to choose just one, it would be Oldenburg Vineyards, which impressed us with its stunning views and excellent wines. But the truth is that Frida made all the difference with her smile, her warmth, and her professional presentation. Thank you! We had a wonderful time. I’m glad our tasting took place after the running, shouting children had left with their parents. We recommend booking in advance — ideally toward the end of the day, when it becomes quiet and peaceful.

Absolutely exceptional tasting with Jacques! Our favorite winery in Stellenbosch.
