Fodor's Expert Review Van Loveren Winery

This winery between Robertson and Bonnievale produces around 60 wines, as well as whisky, brandy, and wine coolers, so there's something to suit most palates. In addition to sampling the wines, be sure to visit the unusual grounds of this family-owned farm. An established garden of native and exotic plants and trees surrounds a fountain that supplies the entire farm. Instead of visiting the usual tasting room, sit out under the trees and have the various wines brought to you. It's very relaxed and friendly, and you may feel like part of the family before you know it. The tasting room offers 10 different tastings, including pairings with cheese, chocolate, and a selection of sweets. There are even nonalcoholic tastings and a pairing for kids.
