Terra del Capo Tasting Room

The Terra del Capo Tasting Room, situated at the entrance to the Anthonij Rupert Wyne estate, was designed to showcase the company’s Italian-inspired Terra del Capo range.

Wine tasting here is a relaxed, indulgent experience in elegant surroundings. Guests have a bird’s-eye view of the activity in the cellar through a glass wall, as well as panoramic views of the vineyards and mountains. A spacious counter for formal tastings is the focal point of the mezzanine-level tasting room, while intimate lounge areas to either side of this are ideal for wine tasting in a more leisurely, conversational style.
