Peter Bayly Wines

Very welcoming and peaceful setting. Peter is a true gentleman.

OMG! What a find. This place is situated in a little piece of Karoo heaven. The micro climate mimics the Douro and so Peter produces some incredibly good wines and ports. Being (self proclaimed) wine and port aficionados, we were sceptical about SA port. Peter’s award winning ports have restored our faith. These are world class!! Such a friendly welcome too - from Peter and the dogs!! Definitely worth a visit off the beaten track.

Memorable and well worth the drive to experience beautifully crafted wines in an authentic farm house. Unusual Portuguese varieties in ideal climatic conditions provide interesting and delicious wines that are very reasonably priced. Peter is a charming and knowledgeable host. Highly recommended - especially if you only have time to visit one winery in this region. Use your GPS in Google maps ti check the route up a lovely river valley. The tourist maps are not to scale. Continue past the dam and gallery then keep going - you haven’t missed it!

We were there 2 years ago, however it was a great experience and would highly reccomend making the trip out there. Hosts were wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the wines. The port was also very good. Stunning views. Will definitely come back.Jan and Cheryl

Dropped by without any booking after a slightly rough but very scenic drive to be very warmly welcomed by Peter and his wife. Every single wine I tasted was amazing, even for someone who normally avoids Port. It was a shame I could bring back one bottle due to my country's custom laws, but I will be back!

My wife and daughter visited Peter Bayly Wines in December 2016, after all the praises I’ve heard, we had to make ‘the pilgrimage’ to the estate. The 15 km trip on the gravel road from Calitzdorp shouldn’t put you off, you won’t regret it. We had a very memorable afternoon on the 23rd December 2018 filled with wonderful hospitality, lots of laughter, and a very memorable wine and port tasting experience.The wines are of excellent and unique quality and the white port is the only of its kind in the area, they are simply ‘an orgasm to the palette’.Peter and Yvonne thank you very much for being such wonderful hosts.

Don't miss this! My first impression was made by the neat and well-kept premises. You can see the attention to detail that goes into maintaining this area. My experience of the wine was the same. I have to admit that the wine is not made from my favourite grape varieties, but Peter Bayly made something special. I can’t describe tastes, you will have to try that for yourself. What I can tell you that even though we already had too much luggage for the flight back, I had to add some of their wine as well. Thank you for the friendly hospitality during our visit, we will definitely be back… at some time in the future.

Jewel hidden. Excellent wine

Was recommended this off the beaten track winery/port house by a Calitzdorp local. So chuffed we took the drive out to see hands on small scale production of his white and red wines and ports. The wines were delicious and the ports were absolutely outstanding. Peter was inviting and passionate about his product and the area. The farm is a little slice of heaven. Highly recommended. Make sure to call ahead to make sure he is in.

Peter Bayly has been truly blessed with a little slice of heaven which he so graciously shares with passers-by. On arrival we were greated by free roaming chickens, two very happy dogs and Peter himself. The wine and conversation started flowing immediately and the hospitality given by Peter and his wife Yvonne, especially midday on a Sunday was kind, warm and generous. We were able to sample a selection of their collection, my favorite by far being the white port with tonic water which if you like gin and tonic, you must try this. Peter suggests you add mint which I can only imagine will further enhance the taste. A must try! If you are in the area, give Peter Bayly a stop (the Chenin is also one of my favorites, really is amazing too!)
