Herold Wines

We had an amazing experience. We arrived late and still had the opportunity to do the wine tasting. Nico is a passionate winemaker which can be seen in everything. The cottages we stayed in were neat and tidy. Unfortunately no options for dinner, but the owners had taken that into account and made us lasagna. Absolutely great service. 10/10 would recommend. Great to get to know the local and less touristic areas around the Garden Route!

Had the nicest wine tasting experience at Herold Wines. It is located in a very private place with amazing views. The owner greets you personally and introduces you the wines. Be careful when going there through Montagu pass - take the road from the north because the road from George is not accessible with regular car. If you have 4x4, then no problem. Although one of the nices views we had on this road.

Absolutely amazing tour and wine tasting, thank you so much Nico and his staff! The drive there from wilderness is also very beautiful through the mountains!

Exellent reception, prompt and friendly assistance.Relaxing atmosphere.Most delicious freshly baked pancakes.Informative tour on the wine making process.Great wines that you will not find in the shopsInsightful and value for money.Highly recommended.

We took the old Montague pass road. Which was really beautiful. Driving through the mountains was really a treat. So much stunning flora and fauna. Herold wines is tucked in between these mountains. We tasted some very good wines and thoroughly enjoyed the cheese platter with piping hot bread that had just been baked. Yummy biltong pate, olives, Parma ham, cheeses, and delicious chilly pate. No fancy frills here, but the setting are serene and peaceful. The Wines are very well priced from R70.00 a bottle. BUTAll I can say is that during the busy seasons they are not at all prepared. The service is shocking, very under staffed for the volumes of visitors, and only 2 staff members in the kitchen. We have been a few times, the first visit was really great, the wine tasting was done at our table, where we could relax, chat and enjoy the wine tasting at our leisure over a cheese platter, now you have to stand around a informal uncomfortable table and do the tasting there, no stools to sit on and a little chaotic. I most definitely wont be going back again. Such a shame.#deliciousness

Authentic, small scale wine-farm charm. Come here if you like quality over quantity. Great tasting, done by the owner and wine-maker, with a personal touch. Wines are interesting, especially the Beer-hops tainted Red. Beautiful road leading up to this farm too. Special experience!

Beautiful setting and lovely experience. Cottages rustic but have the basics needed for a peaceful nights accommodation.

We wanted to choose a special place, away from the everyday shopping centers and restaurants, to celebrate a special birthday! The Herold Wines vineyard and unpretentious tasting room in the heart of the OUTENIQUA mountains, surrounded by high mountain peaks and idyllic fynbos scenery was the perfect choice for a cold winter's day. Winemaker and owner, Nico Fourie, immediately made us feel at home and provided a crackling fire, not to mention the warm feeling that comes when good friends, good food and great wine comes together! Herold Wines is easily accessible via the alternative N9, Waboomskraal route past Rosenhof Farm, if the Montagu Pass is closed for repairs. Discovering hidden places makes the travelling worthwhile!

Very relaxing atmosphere. Nico is very friendly, down to earth and very knowledgeable when it comes to wine. Laatlammetjie wine - my absolute favorite. Will definitely be visiting soon
