After lunch, I wanted our friends to try the Viognier at Vrede en Lust, so we went in to the tasting room to try some wine. The Viognier 2011 sells for R130. This is by far my most favourite Viognier I have tried in SA, and the 2011 is as good as the 2010. You must try the Viognier if you come to Vrede en Lust, and, if you pass Vrede en Lust, you must come and taste their wine.
This winery has done a really good job to create a great vibe and provide a great wine tasting experience. The ladies all wear red dresses, which looks stunning. The outdoor seating provides you with an awesome view. If you sit inside, you ideally want to get a seat near the window so that you still get a nice view. The service is very good here and you can see they pay a lot of attention on training their staff.
I highly recommend visiting this winery. If you want to do two wineries in this area I would suggest Vrede en Lust and La Motte. If I was to suggest three for this area, it is hard to choose between Glen Carlou, Noble Hill and Anura. This is a great area to do a wine tour if you only have one day for visiting wines!!! Especially as the wineries are so close in distance, you don't waste time travelling from one to the next.
