The food was acceptable - a 5-6/10 but we had to constantly search for a waitron. Perhaps they were exceedingly short staffed on Sunday 5th May? An example: our bread arrived just before the END of our meal. We had asked 5 times for it. Conversely the wine tasting in the cellar that I did after 3.30pm was excellent. No... More

A variety of goat and cow cheeses available for tasting. A selection of wines available. A great place to visit when on a wine-lands tour in Cape Town. A restaurant available for lunch.

Had heard from friends that this was a very child-friendly winery and I would certainly agree. We ate breakfast at the restaurant which had quick service (always a plus with kids). Our 20 month old daughter liked the goats but I think she was more interested in the koi pond. The highlights for her were the cheese tasting and she... More

Fairview is a very well-run wine destination. They offer the visitor pretty much everything they could want - wine, cheese, a good meal, limited wineland kitsch and goats in a tower.

Despite its size and popularity, this is well worth a visit. Great service, combined with good wine and awesome cheese. Lacks the personal touch, but the quality cant be faulted. Goat tower a great stop for children.

As well as being a working winery, they seem to have got the balance right for visiting tourists too. The grounds leading up to the tasting room from the car park are lovely. The knowledge of the lady guiding us through the wine tasting was exceptional. The wine we tasted were good and the cheeses were very good too.

My husband was very keen to visit Fairview in order to mainly reminisce his childhood visits when holidaying in the Western Cape and to be honest I can figure out why we hadn't done in it on a previous visit to the area. For just R25 rand we got to taste 6 wines from a choice of over a dozen... More

We'd visited here in 2004 and thoroughly enjoyed seeing a business that was beginning to make a name for itself by being quirky. Now that has been done, it seems, it is resting on its laurels, and has become very commercialized. We were only stopping for lunch, but the service was offhand and the menu lacked variety. The big indoor... More

I was so excited to visit this winery because it also a cheese producer. Their icon is a Goat Tower & is prominently featured on their cheese & wine labels. We arrived to see the goat tower in front of the winery but I was disappointed to find only one goat in it & he wouldn't come out. My disappointment... More
