If you have the time enjoy the areas back roads (mostly good gravel) and make time for both a wine tasting and something to eat. Wines are fairly well known and rated.. the old house and restaurant is also worth the visit and walk through

For anyone considering this market, unless you're driving an Amarok or a Ford ranger, don't bother.
You travel down more or less an 8km road there and then another 10km road back. We were super excited to visit this market after seeing all the marketing behind it, we wanted to see what the fuss was. We went through the effort of the dirt which felt like forever and finally arrived.
We were welcomed by a swarm of fruit flies, which were all around the market. Background music playing but no live entertainment. Couple of stalls, some who were closed because they ran out of food. Others only took cash and therefore we couldn't purchase much.
The one positive was that all the kids seemed to be having fun, lots of space to climb and a huge bell to ring.

GAME DRIVE 11th November 2018.
I would just like to forward a heart felt "Thank You" to you Nick and your wonder staff on the farm, for making such a wonderful birthday for my wife Kathy and lifelong friends Kath & Paul.
The day started off with a Game Drive with the owner, the bar was set high as Wimpie took us out last year! We may not have seen the giraffes, alleged to roam the farm, but we had great fun, which was made even more interesting by the background history of farm and owners. We then had a lunch at the splendid restaurant Hilda’s Kitchen, followed by a special Pistachio & Chocolate birthday cake prepared by your chef (Debbie) - which was fabulous by the way and enjoyed by all, while we all relaxed enjoying Groote Post Riesling etc...
Wine Tasting - Your Very Happy & Bubbly lassie (Luxanne) kept us all entertained thoughout the day and we sampled many great wines from Groote Post - my favirout being GP Riesling.
I am attaching a TripAdvisor review where I mentioned - Groote Post Riesling.
Leeto Restaurant - Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel, Paternoster.
A hidden gem, an oasis in the desert where one can simply forget ones troubles, just enjoying the great vistas; sThe sea throws rocks together time leaves polished stones…
Where one can relax (Mind | Body | Soul) over a splendid meal with friends. Leeto restaurant had views to die for at the same time we enjoyed an affordable lunch washed down by a nice wine from the local winery - Groote Post Riesling. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the sun shone all day long.
An open sercret of Tranquillity, Beauty and Hope in equal measure, where one can linger over the past and pray for a better future, both humble and worlds Greatest Statesmen
❛Madiba❜ has rumoured to enjoy the vista of such a beautiful spot in this beautiful country called South Africa.
We shall return April 2019.

What a hidden gem in Darling.
We were at the beer house and moved onto the wine
The tasting was wonderful and the waiters serving us was great and knew all about the wine.

Lovely meal is this special venue. It feels like being a visitor in a great manor house. The food was excellent and well presented. My teriyaki chicken was delicious as was my husband pork belly. The cherry on the top was the baked cheese cake. It was beyond delicious. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely lady explaining the wines. Gorgeous real country feel. Restaurant very nice but largely meat based. Has one veggie option. Worth the 7km drive up from the main road. Try the oaked Chardonnay, really good.

Occasionally you might wonder where on earth you are but that definitely was the sign for Groote Post bay there....plough on ever further along the dirt road because you will come upon the most beautiful winery...old buildings gleaming white in the extreme heat...head for the wine tasting room passing through cool stainless steel barrels and then into the small tasting room...enjoy...the wines are exceptional...the staff friendly and knowledgeable...don't miss out on this incredible find along the West Coast

Spent a few hours at the monthly market. Divine pizza! Fewer stalls than I imaged though. It does seem tobe a very popular venue with music and good wine.

Fantastic trip from start to finish. We arrived early for our tour on the safari bus hosted by Nick the owner, we had a picnic on the hills overlooking the land with bubbles of course. Had our wine tasting as part of our lunch, just devine including lunch at Hilda’s Kitchen. Cannot begin to tell you that this is a fabulous unique winery. The wine is so smooth (this also includes the reds). The care that is taken to nurture the vines is 2nd to none. Well worth a visit to this Winery and you absolutely must introduce yourself to Luxanne (who is looking for a gentleman 😉). When we return to SA, we will definitely be returning to this gem.

Down near the charmingly named pampoenvlei lies one of the prettiest and productive wine farms on the wes kus. The buildings are authentically historical (I love exploring ou geboue); the setting, down a suitably bumpy dirt road, is bucolic and super-friendly. Market Day is special. Patrons wonder from stall to stall sampling local produce, and buying whaever catches their eye before collapsing in happy groups on blankets to to enjoy live music. The wines are some ofo our favourites; the good stalls offer a range of flavours. No entrance charged; safe and secure parking - you'll have the grootste prety at Grootst Post
