Nestled in the picturesque Blaauwklippen Valley, the beautiful Waterford Estate is styled along the classic Bordeaux chateaus in France with the use of stone and terracotta, rolling lawns, water features and fragrant lavender beds.

The 120-hectare estate is set on the slopes of the beautiful Helderberg, and for a wine tasting experience with a difference guests can jump on board the safari style Land Rover for a 2-hour guided tour and tasting in the heart of the vineyards. The Chocolate and Wine tasting offers another unique flavour experience. Chocolatier Richard von Geusau has created a series of dark and milk chocolates that, when paired with the Waterford Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Natural Sweet wines give a truly wonderful wine tasting sensation.

For these and other wine tasting options, visit www.waterfordestate.co.za., or telephone + 27 21 880 5300.

The estate is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
