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.
The Antipasto Bar, situated directly below the tasting room, is perfect for a quick lunch of freshly prepared local ingredients.
After grabbing something to eat and sampling the fine wines one can take a drive (or tram ride) to the Anthonij Rupert Tasting Room, located in the farm’s historic and refurbished Manor House. Here, bespoke wine tastings of the Cape of Good Hope and Anthonij Rupert wine ranges can be enjoyed at leisure.
