Gerakaris Family Wines was founded in 2009 by Kath Gerakaris. Our boutique winery in the heart of Craighall Park, Jozi, produces wines from grapes sourced from a single farm in the Swartland, Western Cape. Five wines are made by winemaker Kath Gerakaris. Two Chenin blancs and three Syrahs.

Wine tastings are R150 person. We also serve a cheese board designed to match our wines, show casing four South African cheese producers, and bowls of Cape Olives. We have a small garden and we like it this way because we can chat to everyone about what we do… however it does mean weekends get busy and you need to make a booking ahead of time.

Our wine tastings take from half an hour to an hour and a half depending on the size of your group. We therefore reserve your table for a maximum of 2 hours.

    The staff are absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere is so peaceful My only critique is that it caters the wines to the seasons. Tasting 3 reds in the summer was a bit too heavy. But the cheese pairing was very enjoyable and truly a value for money

    Atmosphere is perfect for tasting their wines. Cheese board is worth it! The host paired the wines and a specific cheese or relish to perfection. Very relaxing.

    My colleagues recomended here. And was absolutely right decision to be there. It was a very cozy location. Staff were friendly and made expert explaining about wines. Also marriage with SA cheese were wonderful♡ We had a table at the front garden, and it was quiet and nice. Communication with them by E-mail or WhatsApp were all smooth, no trouble. I highly recomend this place.
