We are a family with two young children - 9 & 4. We arrived on a lazy afternoon, Dieter was busy at work but stopped everything to come out to greet us - along with two sweet dogs. We were concerned about the children running around, Dieter was very accommodating and allowed the children to run outside while my husband... More

We arrived unannounced and Dieter was woking outside. He found the time to stop everything he was doing to show us around and give us a wine tasting. The wine was fantastic, we bought three bottles. The only trouble is that I cant find bottles here in Canada, and now I know what Im missing.

We are a family of 6 (kids ages 4, 6, 8 & 11) from the US living in Stellenbosch for 7 months. We have been to several wineries many advertising themselves as family friendly--which usually means a jungle-gym of some sorts. Lynx and the owner Dieter give that term real substance We were taking a daytrip to Franschhoek in March... More

My favourite wine. Love the passion that goes into making these fine wines. Love the blends. Buy as many bottles as you can take with you because you will be so sorry when its finished:)

We went to this Vineyard on a recommendation and have only just realised its so highly rated on TA. Can thoroughly understand why. Given its rating on here I am actually surprised we were able to enjoy such a personal and quiet tasting. It was fantastic to meet the owner and the man that really does make the wine -... More

We visited Lynx wines as part of our day excursion around the Stellenbosch and franshoek region. The place is a great location, and a real hands on experience with the owner spending well over an hour talking to just myself and wife about the production of his wines and experiences. Really learnt a lot, and then 45 minutes to an... More

We visited lots wineries while in Franschhoek, and this was one of our favourites. Dieter, the owner took time from his busy schedule to give us a personalised tour. It was early February and a busy time for them. We so appreciated his patience in explaining the whole process to us and answering all of our very many questions. Lynx... More

A short personalised overview in the wine-making room with a lot of explanation of the process. Followed by wine-tasting in the tasting area with a lot of informative and humerous Q&A on the wines tasted and on wine production in that area in general. As it was near the start of our holiday we didn't buy any bottles but will... More

We visited Lynx as a group of eight with four adults and four teenagers. Everyone including the teenagers enjoyed the experience hosted by the owner. We even ordered some of the beautiful wines to be shipped home from their European distribution centre. The tour was relaxed and we never felt that we were in any way rushed and the owner... More

Our visit to Lynx Wines last week was both informative and delightful. Dieter instructed us in the wine making process from grapes to labels. We then had the pleasure of tasting the fruits of the Lynx vines. Every wine we tried, we loved. Dieter was kind enough to send us on our way with great recommendations for other vineyards to...
