The wine and chocolate pairing is a MUST!

An amazing experience. We were greeted by our server / guide, Andrew, who's service and knowledge was outstanding. Be sure to get a tour before you leave. I would HIGHLY recommend you make an effort to visit this winery!!!

Food platter 5/5

Wine 3/5,
I tasted wine + chocolate option, their red wines are not my favorite, there dessert wine can be my recommendation

Service 4/5,
service is great, waiters are just too busy to come service you.

Environment 3/5
They don’t have great view inside the building. Their free baby mandarins trees are surprise, u can get free mandarins from the tree

Do the wine and chocolate tasting! What an incredible experience! The wine was outstanding and we were given a very cool behind-the-scenes tour of the facility. The staff is very professional and we were treated like gold. Thank you!

Waterford has always had a special place in my heart as it's so beautiful and their wines are also delicious, and I am glad to say that they have only improved since I last visited. This time around I took my wife for a her birthday to SALT @ Waterford and I can honestly say my mind was blown. Firstly, the restaurant makes perfect use of the picturesque courtyard with all tables positioned in such a way that you have a beautiful view of it. You can't not taste their wines when you visit so we decided on doing the tasting while we enjoyed our lunch. They have various tasting options available, however we decided on one with a wide variety of wine styles including 3 wines paired with artisan chocolates. Our lunch at SALT was just as awesome and a must experience for everyone. Everything we had was beautifully presented and super tasty! Standout dishes for us were the Swordfish, Hantam Rack of Lamb and the Grilled Beef Rib Eye, but you can't go wrong with whichever dish you end up choosing. Something which I also liked was the different salts available on the table for you to taste, as well as enjoy with your food. Our waiter, Greg, was amazing - from welcoming us at the door, to overall just being very friendly and attentive throughout our wine tasting and lunch, with his knowledge of the different wines being the cherry on-top. My wife and I would just like to say a massive thank you to Chef Beau du Toit and his entire team for making our experience at SALT @ Waterford so special and memorable.

Lovely wine drive to the top of the estate! To sip on excellent wine and chocolates!

The estate is beautiful, the cellar tour very informative and the cathedral is breath taking!

Definitely one to tick off when your in the area! ????

Very underwhelming. The savory taste journeys plating was poor. Also not fresh. The wines are not worth what they charge. And the Platters pancetta was cheap and they didn't use real butter to make the cheese straws.
Such a pity.
It is truly a beautiful estate.

Everything is 5 star about this luxury wine estate starting from their entrance to every small detail on their plates. Their smooth and easy drinking Rose-Mary was my favourite wine, however, their Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc are great wines too. Our waiter was knowledgeable on all their wines and willing to accommodate all of our needs. A MUST visit for anybody wishing to enjoy upscale cuisine and wines in a beautiful setting!
