Neethlingshof, Cape Town

Cellar tours and the tranquil wine garden ensure that a visit to Neethlingshof is much more than just a wine tasting experience. However, the first impression of this estate that dates back to 1692, is of the stunning Pine Avenue–reflected on each bottle of wine. The carefully restored and preserved buildings (the manor house dates back to 1814) house up-to-date cellar technology designed to facilitate the production of world-class wines. There are two restaurants– the Lord Neethling and the Palm Terrace–cellar and vineyard tours culminate in a barbecue lunch and wine tasting.
