About De Grendel Wine Estate
The highest-rated estate in this guide and the closest to the city on the Durbanville side, on the Tygerberg hills above Plattekloof with Table Mountain across the bay. Classic, Heritage and Legacy tasting flights, a fine-dining restaurant with wine pairings, and estate tours. Open daily, Sundays 10:00 to 16:00.
Visitors single out table mountain panorama, fine-dining pairings, three tasting tiers. The wines to look for are Merlot.
Visiting
Book ahead. About 25 to 30 minutes from the Waterfront via the N1 and M13; the closest alternative to Constantia and quieter on weekends.
