Wolvenhoek Vineyards

 Wolvenhoek Vineyards    8 June 2025    36/60

It was a tasting of note. We were probably one of the first groups to attend, and the day started with a cellar tour, and tasting from the barrel! Duan, the winemaker, and Fiona were so friendly and knew their stuff. Passionate about their farm.
