The two tasting rooms at L’Ormarins Estate offer a variety of three tasting experiences with spectacular vineyard and mountain views.
This scenic wine farm, located next to an estate that dates back to 1694, boasts an impressive selection of award-winning vintages. And, if that’s your thing, go and experience them in the comfort of this elegant tasting room, which offers flavour-rich tasting experiences with breathtaking views of the valley and Groot Drakenstein Mountains behind.
The impressive Anthonij Rupert cellar, equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, gravity-fed cellars and a mechanical flywheel (the only one of its kind on the continent) is where the six wines in the Anthonij Rupert flagship range are produced. There are also three other cellars that collectively produce wines under the L’Ormarins, Cape of Good Hope, Terra del Capo, Protea and Jean Roi brands.
The exquisite detail is carried through to two stylish tasting rooms. The Anthonij Rupert Tasting Room is located in the farm’s historic and beautifully appointed Manor House, and offers bespoke wine tastings.
The Terra del Capo tasting room is less formal and has a delicious tapas menu that can be enjoyed at the Antipasto Bar, or on the verandah outside. Tasting includes wines from the Terra del Capo and Protea range.
A fine selection of local and imported artisanal cheeses, paired with wines from the Terra del Capo range.
We know bubbly is usually paired with oysters and caviar, but don’t knock this, till you’ve tried it. Enjoy a range of handcrafted nougats paired with estate’s three L’Ormarins Méthode Cap Classiques (MCC).
Considering Anthonij Rupert Wines hosts the annual Shiraz & Charcuterie Festival, this classic pairing is right at home on this estate. Enjoy the salty, rich flavours of the charcuterie paired with the spiciness of shiraz.
After your wine-tasting, hop on a free tram to the Franschhoek Motor Museum on neighbouring L’Ormarins Estate.
