Hamilton Russell Vineyards

I was here for wine tasting. First of all, I highly suggest you come here during weekdays as there are less people. I literally had the wine cellar to myself. The wine tasting is very affordable R100 and I tasted 4 wines, 2 were tgeur own and the other two was from their sister Vineyards. The wines tasted absolutely exquisite with pleasant flavours. The views and scenery are to die for. The staff was very helpful and friendly. If you want Pinot noir and Chardonnay you have come to the right place.

I think my first taste of Hamilton Russell (HR) was the 2004 vintage of Pinot Noir, flanked by the ‘06 Chardonnay - both delivered WOW factors. Some years and a pandemic later, I found myself in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley on a quiet Thursday afternoon, with time to squeeze in only one tasting. Conundrum, but which farm? Options, options, options… Alas the road maintenance made it easy to decide, with the first stop-go being at the entrance to HR.
On arrival, we were greeted by some
of the cellar staff that were going about their duties, who pointed us down to a charming cottage overlooking a lovely dam with lots natural habitat surrounding. Chantel the tasting room host stoked the fire place then presented us with the 4 wines on offer for a frugal R100 pp.
The tasting was nothing short of a few laughs, beautiful views and outstanding wines, but, my primary take away from this visit was the history lesson I learnt about the Estate. With that its ethos of love and respect for the terroir or land, the craft of wine making and the families that work on the estate. Amazing!

Such a lovely cozy cottage with a beautiful terrace and view of the vineyard. The wines were really unique especially the aged sav blanc.

Good luck trying to purchase wine from them , staff have no interest to sell wine to the trade

They were short staffed and very busy, but service was not up to the standard of the area.
If you willing to look past that - the wine and setting is immaculate.
No food on offer, so don’t go hungry.

Absolutely stunning wine farm! Well worth a visit if you're in the area. We loved every minute of our visit. Friendly and helpful staff. The best Chardonnay in South Africa and adorable donkeys to boot. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
