After living in Somerset West for 12 years and driving past Vergelegen a countless number of times - I finally decided to go and see what all the fuss is about when I got a hankering or a summers-day wine tasting.
I was expecting it to be a nice venue, but I could never imagine how truly amazing it is with beautiful gardens, forests, architecture, and a welcome-home-vibe.
The staff are extremely friendly, well educated about their wines (And everything about the South African wine culture & industry!) and the service is exceptional.
We had a magical experience sitting outside on the "stoep" overlooking the gardens while taking in the sunshine. But I could immediately picture an equally amazing experience during winter sitting inside the fantastically cozy tasting room!
The wines are amazing - especially when you end off your tasting with their lovely Straw wine (How divine!)
I would 100% recommend making this part of your visit anytime you are near Somerset West, and I will definitely be going back soon.
