Vrede en Lust Estate

Every single time I visit Savoye Restaurant, it is the best experience ever!!! The atmosphere is gentle & tranquil, the gardens & sparkling pool are beautiful, the service is outstanding & friendly & the food is exceptional. Oh & the wines & bubbly are sublime. It is such a privilege to go there & be pampered & taken such good care of. I'd go there every day if it were possible. Gen, Mikey & Russell...much gratitude & love.

Exceptional experience on a perfect, sunny Cape day. We throughly enjoyed our platter lunch, cellar tour and wine tasting. Loved all the wines we tasted, particularly The Jess rosé. Noxi, our host was so pleasant to deal with. She absolutely looked after our group and gave us all the time in the world. A lovely, relaxed afternoon.

A fabulous end to a lovely day in Franschoek on the wine tram. Wonderful bespoke wine tasting and cellar tour hosted brilliantly by the incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic Jade. Some absolutely lovely reds which we took a few with us. Cheers

What a lovely stay and a perfect service offered to us, we have come far to enjoy and have a wonderful time, we came from Johannesburg just to have a relaxed and wonderful weekend. Thanks to the staff that managed to meet our demands and give us possible help at all time

We visited the stunning Vrede en Lust Wine Estate when visiting Franschhoek, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to South Africa. We were on the Wine Tram, with one of the stops being Vrede en Lust Wine Estate. We had pre-booked one of their Cheese & Wine pairings, and although we were a little late, the table was all set on their stunning balcony looking over their vineyards and the Franschhoek Valley. The estate has been in the same family for over 100 years, and you could clearly see they are passionate about producing high-quality wines. The wine tasting was excellent, and Noxi was absolutely superb and talking through the wines and the local cheese pairings that accompanied the wine. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, and really made the experience even more memorable. The cheeses were all local and delicious, and the wines were perfectly chosen to complement them. Even if on paper it wouldn’t be a choice I would have made, they all worked incredibly well together. If you're looking for a unique and delicious wine-tasting experience, I highly recommend adding Vrede en Lust to your itinerary if visiting Franschhoek. The wine and cheese pairing is a must-try!

A nice location (on the Wine Tram) serving some excellent wines in a large dining area. It was pretty quiet when we visited so lacked atmosphere. We liked the LUST Bistro & Bakery, which served up some decent cakes too.
