Excellent all around experience

I've long been a fan of their wines & finally got to visit the farm a week ago. Service was excellent, atmosphere superb, artwork displays are beautiful & the wines excellent. Purchased R5k of wines at cellar door prices but wasn't given the 10% discount promised; I only realised later but not fussed about it. There is a general misconception that cellar door prices should be cheaper than retail - this used to be the case decades ago but people should be aware that the farmers sell in bulk to distributors who then on-sell to retail. It's really up to the retailer to control their discounts, don't blame the farm that's selling small orders at advertised prices and volume orders at negotiated prices. Market dynamics off the farm are beyond control of the wineries.
