Vrede en Lust Wine Estate

Very nice view and outdoor deck. Our attendant was very knowledgeable about their wines and let us try a few extra things. The wine and cheese pairing was very well done — good portions of cheese, nice cheeses, and very well paired with the wines. Good value and very good wines. Most wines were 3-5/5 stars for my taste.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. They delivered everything I wanted and more, and went above and beyond to support my wedding planner—everything ran absolutely smoothly. Both our overseas guests and local guests raved about the exceptional service and the stunning setting. Everything on the estate was in close proximity, which created an intimate atmosphere with breathtaking views of the mountains and gorgeous gardens all around. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our entire stay comfortable. And I have to mention the beds—they were amazing! I’m so grateful for the unforgettable experience. Highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for beauty, professionalism, and true hospitality.

Absolutely bang average. Not worth the money at all, the charcuterie and meat boards were sparse and not very exciting, not worth R250+ each. Each wine paring was nice, but also at other wine farms you’re getting way more bang for your buck. I felt like we were being severely underserved but the waiter insisted. You’d be better off going somewhere else. It is a beautiful place, but in terms of food and wine, it was lack lustre.

One of the most beautiful places I've been lucky enough to visit. Lots to do on the estate which is comprised of several colonial styled building each with their own purpose: wine tasting, restaurant, shopping, picnics. The estate itself is lovely too wander through with one beautiful delight after the next.

We celebrated our wedding here, most wonderful location, great and friendly staff and luxury rooms! We also booked the residence at Verde en Lust, which is incredibly beautiful!

This place was our top choice for staying however we chose more intimate lodge but came for a wine tasting. Out of all vineyards we have visited this had the best service. Noxi done an amazing job. This is when a person knows her product and can read her client. The more we spoke and i shared what i like or dislike, Noxi would bring different opinions for me to try and 99% they were spot on. I believe this vineyards is also on the Franschhoek train route, has a few food options available and stunning views. 100% recommend to visit.

We are so glad we did not give up on our wine tasting journey. After a disappointing experience at another vineyard nearby, we decided to give this place a try, and it turned out to be the best decision of the day. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and to our delight, they even allowed us to bring in a few treats from the Lust bakery on the property. We arrived just before closing, and as a bonus, the bakery offers fifty percent off after three in the afternoon. There were only a few items left, but it was a lovely surprise that added to the experience. The setting was absolutely stunning. The views were breathtaking and the entire space felt peaceful and unhurried. It was the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time in the best way. We also appreciated that they offered reliable and free WiFi, which made it easy to share the moment with friends and family in real time. And the wine. Decadent, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting, and the staff took the time to explain each pour with care and enthusiasm. It was clear they love what they do. This winery came highly recommended, and now we understand why. We would absolutely encourage anyone visiting the area to make time for a stop here. Thank you for such a memorable and relaxing visit.

Vrede en Lust is truly a special place! We did their Women’s Day wine and champagne pairing with a macaron box. Such a lovely idea and so well put together! The wines were amazing, and the pairings felt thoughtful and fun. Big shoutout to Jade, who did our tasting, she was honestly the best! So friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better with all the insights she shared. You can tell she knows her stuff and truly enjoys it. Highly recommend this experience, especially if you get lucky enough to have Jade guiding you through it!
