Probably my favorite wine in all of SA wine country. Everything they have should get a gold medal. Rich and tasty red wines, all of them spectacular. Their pinot noir is my favorite, but the cabernet sauvignon is really solid as well. Try them all!!!

Fantastic wines, amazing food - but book in advance be warned- with fantastic views. There is also a contemporary art museum. You can also take a look into the cellar. International wines generally available, but with current exchange rate, the selection has dwindled. Worth a visit. Menu at restaura...

An excellent award-winning vineyard nestled between blue mountain ranges and lush vineyards. The view from the outside deck is breathtaking. R100 for a wine tasting of your own selection of 5 exquisite wines. Favorites were the crispy Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Merlot.

Panoramic views over Paarl vinyards and mountains. Has upmarket restaurant where bookings are essential. We browsed through the large art gallery and enjoyed a wine tasting on the viewing deck. The Grand Classique Bordeaux Blend and Gravel Quarry Cab Sav stood out, but the Classique is by far the...

One of the most wonderful places ever. Always worth a first-class memory even after a few months. Food and service perfect and then this view from the terrace. Take your chance if you can. And if you have the opportunity, be sure to take a look at the gallery! Another 1000 thanks to the gallery mana...

What a treat! The service was unfeigned friendly and good. One of the only restaurants (I'm aware of) where the wine on the menu are sold at cellar price. The wine pairing options contributed to a wonderful culinary experience. Big fan!

We love Glen Carlou. They have superb wines, and really great staff, always friendly, know what they are selling to you, and will give their personal opinion about a wine, something that we really appreciate before buying a bottle. They also have one of the best views in the wine lands.

Found our way into this wine estate and were absolutely amazed at the view from the wine tasting area and restaurant. Being seated at a table inside or outside with a view of the valley is just mind boggling. Found a few good wines to purchase. This is definitely a place we will go to again.

Picturesque view and good wine for my first Glen Carlou experience on 22 August 2020, however what disappointed me was the service and presentation of good wine and still got wine spilled on me during presentation. I will elaborate further more to whomever contacts me.

The restaurant practices excellent social distancing and we felt very comfortable. On arrival we were well taken care of and as one of our party was a loyalty member, we were offere...

Excellent food and a fantastic view, what more can one ask for. Prices are competitive with wine estates in the area. Wide selection of food on offer and wine tasting available. Request a table on the balcony as the views are epic!
