Ava Marie Chardonnay and Le Luc Pinot Noir are what I’d point you towards at family-run Restless River Wines.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Hempies du Toit’s memorabilia are my reasons to linger in the tasting room at Annandale Wines.

The Cabernet Franc and Méthode Cap Classique are the draw here, with small-batch wines and a quiet tasting room.

Pinotage Cap Classique bubbly is what I’d try at Kanonkop Wine Estate, where tastings include stories about the estate’s history.

Tasting menus and wine pairings are what I’d go for at Rust en Vrede Wine Estate’s vineyard eatery.

The guided tastings at Rupert & Rothschild cover just three wines, and you can stay for lunch with wine pairings.

Sunset vineyard tours are what I’d go to Vergelegen Wine Estate for, with time to wander the themed gardens.

Sauvignon Blanc starts the afternoon at Buitenverwachting; I’d go for a tasting and enjoy the picnic lawns if summer weather allows.

Private pools and kitchens come with the lodges at Delaire Graff Estate, with two restaurants when you fancy eating out.

The glass museum at Glenelly Estate is worth a wander before a wine tasting and vineyard-view terrace dining.
