What you get at each price point
R60 - R120: the classic flight
Four to six current-release wines at the tasting room counter or a shared table. Usually walk-in friendly midweek, and often credited against a bottle.
R120 - R250: seated and guided
A seated tasting with a host talking through the range, sometimes including a reserve pour or a small snack. This is the most common weekend format.
R250 - R400: pairings
Wine paired with chocolate, cheese, biltong, nougat or charcuterie. Runs 60-90 minutes and effectively replaces a light lunch.
R400+: cellar, vertical and chef-led
Barrel tastings, library verticals and multi-course menu pairings. Book these well ahead - they run on fixed times with limited seats.

How to keep the day affordable
- Buy a bottle where the fee is credited - two people sharing one tasting credit often break even.
- Visit midweek. Weekend slots skew towards the pricier seated and paired formats.
- Share flights. Most estates allow two people to share one tasting for a small extra charge.
- Pick one splurge. One premium tasting plus two standard ones costs far less than three premium ones.
- Split a driver. A shared car across four guests usually costs less per head than e-hailing between farms - compare drivers and guides.
