Absolutely amazing experience, 100% recommended. Lovely wine tasting by the very knowledgeable owner, farmer and wine maker Greg and then a fabulous performance by Drum Struck who took us through the history of African music. A very lovely afternoon.

The exhibits were masterful and the facility is amazing. There were many mediums represented and pieces from SA and around the world. It was just enough. Something exciting around every corner but not so long that you felt drained and overwhelmed.

The staff is so kind , humble and welcoming. The (Miss) tour guider ......wooow she knows the story. Having sound human relations with the tourists. Excellent tour yo the uphill constitution street
