Enjoy the flavours, atmosphere and experience of a tasting flight
from the Cape vineyards in the heart of Gauteng.

The Tasting Room is a concept born of a sunny afternoon's wine tasting in the Cape Winelands. It aims to bring the flavours and atmosphere of a tasting experience in the Cape’s finest vineyards to Gauteng.

The Tasting Room offers restaurant-goers in Gauteng the chance to experience a range of tasting flights without the cost of a trip to the Cape. Enjoy a range of tastings - from the more traditional wine, cheese and olives to the unusual, such as coffee and macarons.

The Tasting Room is a concept designed to provide the customer with a novel experience they can't get in their own province.

Our team has a personal love of both wine and the Cape itself.

    I rated the food 2: I expected that you would have mastered your set menus out fish was over cooked, the veg was good but had pieces of spems that was not surpose to be added to the meal and the ratio between mash and fish was also not right. The bread served was cold and therefore very hard. As the bread was cold the butter that was also hard that made it very difficult to smear. I believe the same fridge is used to chill the wibes as my white wine was too warm and my red wine too chilled. I also reated the ambiance 3: the interior of the restaurant is basically a concrete and steel box, after 1pm it got so bisy and loud I was unable to hear what was going on. The rest was quite good. I also felt a bit rushed as one dish was served right after each other. I really looked forward to the experience bit dont know if I would do it again. I expected more

    A special shout out to our waiter Chris. He did an incredible job serving us. The chef was on point with the food. The ambiance was great as always, however, the music was too loud which I think led to a party upstairs to be really loud - using a higher volume to hear each other over the music. This is not a complaint about the party, just to be clear as I think they were simply having fun but to adjust the music volume for guests to speak and hear each other without having to shout.
