Why it's worth your time
The pairing lunch is the experience here — small plates matched to a wide range of the estate's wines. One of the best wine-and-food estates in the Cape; book well ahead.
What we love
The pairing lunch, where each wine has its own dish.
What to know
Carolyn and JC Martin make over 30 wines from a single estate — one of the widest estate-grown ranges in the Cape — and pair all of them with a designed tasting menu.
