Why visit Waterford Estate
One of the Cape's most polished tasting experiences — chocolate and wine pairing in a courtyard setting.
Elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Chardonnay wines, and the flagship 'Wine Drive' experience through the vineyards.
Where Waterford Estate is
In the Blaauwklippen valley south of Stellenbosch, off the R44 — about 45 minutes from Cape Town.
What to expect
A seated tasting in the courtyard, the chocolate and wine pairing, and optional Wine Drive tour of the estate.
Refined, unhurried atmosphere — better for a longer, sit-down stop than a quick tasting.
How to include Waterford Estate in a Wanderer private tour
Often used on a private Wanderer Stellenbosch day as a refined afternoon anchor after a lunch or lighter tasting elsewhere.
Practical tips
- Pre-book — Waterford does not accept walk-ins for the main experiences.
- Ask about the Wine Drive if you want to see the estate in more depth.
