Tips & Advice
- Book your table in advance, especially for the restaurant sessions, as bookings are essential and the farm can get busy.
- If you have mobility concerns, specifically request a table in the restaurant area when booking, as the downstairs takeaway area has limited accessibility.
- Consider using the available shuttle services from George or Mossel Bay to avoid driving after enjoying wine tastings and meals.
- Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, bringing hats and sunscreen for sunny days or jackets and blankets for cooler evenings.
- For quicker responses to inquiries, especially regarding bookings, consider sending an email to the dedicated bookings address rather than relying solely on phone calls due to limited cell reception.
