Creando nuestro propio vino! Fui con mi esposa y unos amigos para probar la creación de nuestro propio vino. Una bonita manera de pasar la tarde, haciendo varias combinaciones de Merlot, Shyrah y Pinot hasta lograr nuestra mezcla favorita y ponerlo en una botella. Además, el almuerzo estuvo excelente y la vista y `paisaje es simplemente espectacular. Una gran manera de pasar el día!

Fuja dela Visita em grupo, previamente agendada. No programa, almoço e wine tour. Comida racionada - pouca e de baixa qualidade. Nenhuma novidade, nada de interessante. E para completar, visita à adega. Instalações antigas, mal conservadas, muita sujeira, cães soltos passeando por entre os equipamentos, nada de interessante. Não sei como os órgãos de vigilância sanitária permitem o seu funcionamento. E como tudo o que é ruim, também é caro. Não indico.

Our year end function was at Middelvlei. Wonderful setting and the set menu was excellent. Merlot wine 2 x Award winner! We went early and went walking through the Estate. The decor was inspiring. Restaurant menu has a lot to offer. South African food!! While we were there the was another group enjoying the Set braai menu. Tourist buses arriving and cycling of people just enjoying the Estate.

Eine wunderbare Erfahrung Wir waren zweimal auf dem Weingut. Einmal zur Weinverkostung und einmal um unseren eigenen Wein herzustellen. Besonders die Kreation eines eigenen Weines(aus Shiraz, Merlot und Pinotage) war ein wunderbares Erlebnis, welches wir nicht so schnell vergessen werden!

Full marks for hospitality, food and environment Driving up to this winery on the outskirts of Stellenbosch is like approaching a farm. When we visited in the springtime, there was a choice of indoor and outdoor tables. If, like us, you want to eat outdoors and fully enjoy the surrounding farmland and animals, then you will have to make another choice. You can go with lunch at one of the tables out on the grass or under the verandah, depending on how much sun you want beaming down on you. You will be offered a choice of three barbecue-focused options - the standard, the vegetarian or the low carb option. We went with the standard, meat-based option to accompany our wine tasting (4 wines which you choose from the Middelvlei range). A yummy soft bread with their own fish spread, butters and strawberry jam was the starter. Chicken, lamb and sausage with salads followed - along with the highlight, a very delicious, light pumpkin beignet-style fritter, and the item we most wanted to experience once, a Braaibroodjies (which actually turns out to be a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich, just done on the barbecue). Ben was a great host and talked us through the different wines we chose. All together, a top experience of hospitality, food and a very relaxing environment.

Comida caseira e bons vinhos O almoco tem um gostinho de fazenda, tempero caseiro, variedade de vinhos, muito saboroso, lugar muito bonito, so fiquei assustada com o tamanho do cachorro. Vinhos com otimo custo beneficio

Fantastic experience If you love wine, South African food and have young children, this is the place to visit. We decided on our trip to do some wine tastings and enjoy the beautiful Stellenbosch scenery at various Wine Estates. It is however not always easy to keep the kids entertained. What makes Middelvlei so special, is that they do a kids “wine tasting.” Our kids were engaging and felt really part of the whole experience. They were tasting different sparkling juices. The tasting box also include sweets. Then there’s a play area for them to burn off some energy and various farm animals to keep them entertained while the adults enjoy their wine and the beautiful scenery. We did not have the time for food, but the menu looked amazing. We had an amazing experience and will definitely recommend this family friendly wine estate to anyone visiting the area.

Comida de fazenda Sabe aquela comida caseira, preparada em fazenda e podendo comer ao ar livre. Bem, essa é a definição do restaurante da Middelvlei Wine Estate. O preço é fixo (225 rands) e eles trazem uma entrada (pão, manteiga e geleia) e depois trazem os pratos principais (salada de batatas, bolinho de chuva, salada verde, linguiça, costeleta de carneiro e um espetinho de frango com molho agridoce). Tem ainda um café de cortesia (para o qual não tivemos gás, hehehe). Vale a pena a visita.
