Probably the most value for money dining experience and tasty food we've had in the Hermanus area for a while. Service from Janis was effortless and friendly. Thank you!

Will go down as one of our absolute favourite dates we had during our honeymoon! We spent hours enjoying the phenomenal wines, friendly and professional service and beautiful decor, architecture and views. Our waiter spoiled us with way more wines than what was supposed to be included in the tasting and was very knowledgeable. We can't wait to go back!

We had a good time at Gabrielskloof Estate, tasting great wines. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. Thank you for the complimentary bread board with the estate olive oil. This is a beautiful isolated estate where we would certainly come back for more wine tasting and some lunch at the restaurant.

A full-circle moment - finally reconnecting with these beautiful wines. The wines tell their own stories, but Kwanda’s enthusiasm? Absolutely electric. A true gem and incredible ambassador for their craft. And those flatbreads… divine. Thank you for making this experience so memorable, and for sharing such stunning wines with the world.

★★★★★ An Exceptional Expression of Place, Passion, and Hospitality Gabriëlskloof Wine Estate continues to set a benchmark for excellence in every sense of the word. Having visited on multiple occasions, I can say with absolute confidence that this is an estate to which one returns not out of habit, but out of genuine admiration and anticipation. The hospitality is consistently outstanding—warm, attentive, and deeply authentic. There is a palpable sense that every visitor is welcomed not merely as a guest, but as a participant in the story of the farm. The team’s knowledge, generosity with their time, and quiet pride in what they do elevate the experience far beyond a standard wine tasting. The wines themselves are exceptional, with the Syrah standing out as a true flagship: layered, expressive, and profoundly reflective of its terroir. It is a wine of depth and restraint, clearly crafted with patience, precision, and respect for the land. Across the range, the same philosophy is evident—minimal intervention, maximum integrity, and an unwavering commitment to quality. What truly sets Gabriëlskloof apart is the evident passion and care that underpin every aspect of the estate, from vineyard to cellar to tasting room. This is not simply winemaking; it is stewardship, thoughtfully and beautifully executed. I have visited many times before and will most certainly return again in the foreseeable future. Gabriëlskloof is not just a destination—it is an enduring experience, and one of the finest examples of South African wine done right.
