The tasting room is relaxed and genuinely good. They do a serious Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon that are both worth taking home. The Merlot block they walk you past in the vineyard — planted 2007, Blok 13B — is a small detail that makes the whole thing feel real rather than just a tourist operation.
I also remember drinking from the bottle on the van ride back to the hotel. No regrets whatsoever.
