My husband and I were gifted a voucher for the Porcupine Walking experience which we booked in with Damien (hope that's spelt correctly). It was such as great experience and Damien was a great host - very friendly, knowledgeable about the beautiful estate, and Waterford wines. He was great company and provided excellent service from start to finish. Our only piece of constructive feedback is that the light lunch could have been a bit more substantial, especially given the generous number of wines on offer to try. It was however very tasty! We'd definitely recommend this experience to others, so thanks again Damien for a lovely day.

We had a wonderful time during our Porcupine Trail Wine Walk. Our guide Ruan was fantastic, so friendly and knowledgeable, we really appreciated how well he looked after our small group. The estate is beautiful and the wines we tasted were delicious. We especially enjoyed the first part of the tasting in the forest and being able to walk back to the estate whilst enjoying an extra glass of wine, that was a nice touch. Thank you for a great afternoon.

The wine tasting was the best experience we had so far on our trip - and we have been on six different wine estates so far. The student who was attending us (we forgot his name, but remember he was studying finance) knew everything about the grapes, the production and the taste. We were impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm. We also had lunch at Waterford and it was delicious.

As I anticipated, the atmosphere was unique yet fulfilling. For the quad and fountain at the centre, the place reminds me of my high school'Allan Wilson Boys'. It was a very windy day, but the chocolate and wine pairing made the day digestible. What particularly outstood me was Carla, my wine advisor, and Cab Sav 18'. The combo of these 2 plus her story of James Bond made me giggle a bit. I would recommend this place.

Waterford is a beautiful estate, very elegant yet comfortable . Right from the start , we loved the rows of lime trees in the parking lot, where you could park under their shade. We didn’t eat in the restaurant , but we did have our best wine tasting experience here, in the large shaded courtyard. Joni was perfect in her presentation and information , and she gave us just the right time in between wines , a very relaxing pace. Most of all , Joni was very personable , and chatted with us and came across as genuine and very friendly , and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. She made the wine tasting a memorable experience.

We visited this estate because my wife drank earlier in the week the Waterford Chardonnay that she really liked. The lunch reservation we booked in advance (recommended). The restaurant and tasting area is really in a very nice serene environment. The service is excellent as well as the food. We did the 6 different types of wine tasting + the flagship wine “The Jem”. Not all wines are to our liking but overall very well made. We really enjoyed our afternoon here; it is very recommendable. Few words of criticism: is it really necessary to offer imported salt from Hawaii? (Sure, the restaurant is called “Salt” but you probably know what I mean) and does South Africa not have an alternative to the still water imported from Italy? Please keep it local!

Gorgeous setting, we enjoyed a beautiful lunch in salt followed by a tasting of 3 whites & 3 reds during our honeymoon. I can’t remember her name unfortunately but our waitress was fabulous. Great atmosphere. Recommended!!

We popped in during our wine tasting tour, without a reservation and hoping to get some food whilst we were there. Unfortunately, they had stopped serving food when we arrived and it looked like we'd only be able to do the wine tasting. However, the lovely lady who spoke to us asked if we could give her a minute whilst she went to speak to the manager / kitchen staff. She promptly came back and said that they'd be able to prepare a small selection of meals for us, to go with our wine tasting. How amazing and how flexible of them !! We were seated in a gorgeous, airy private room were we enjoyed our wine tasting and delicious food. We were looked after by the wonderful Malaika who was friendly, professional, personable and efficient. A gem of a lady and such a great ambassador for the company. We were not rushed and throughly enjoyed our time at Waterford. Food portions were great and the food was very tasty. Prices overall were very reasonable. Absolutely I would return and would definitely recommend to others to visit. Thank you so much for hosting us. It was exceptional service. 👏🏻

Super nice experience. We went there on a Sunday afternoon. We weren’t able to book online a cellar visit because it was full and so we had already a wine tasting elsewhere. Nevertheless we trued to stop by. Despite not having a reservation, nor a wine tasting they were super nice to us and had a guy from their staff to took us visit and explain the cellar. The estate is relatively new but the site is nice and cozy. Very recent like most of the places in Stellenbosch but very pleasant. Well done and thanks again.

Great experience. Damien was a thoughtful informative and considerate guide. Lovely platter. Plentiful samples of great wine. Was quite a cool day and there was no activity on the vines. We both loved the experience but maybe it would have been better to enjoy an experience at the winery
