Jonathan Meyer Review of Groot Constantia Wine Estate

Overrated, and stuck up. What an awful place. Arrived as part of the Red Bus City Sightseeing tour and firstly had to walk down a rather steep incline in the road - dodging cars and sprinklers along the way - just to get to the wine tasting area.
There my group of seven was met with a snotty waiter who told us if we order different wines to taste he won't bring them to our table, we'll have to go up to the bar to get them ourselves.
The wines were OK, but nothing to rave about and we were rushed through our tasting to make way for the next bus load of Chinese tourists.
What an awful place, and definitely a wine estate that can easily be skipped when visiting Cape Town. Rather go to Eagles' Nest or Beau Constantia, just up the road. You'll have a much better time and in a much better setting too.
