    We had high expectations for lunch but unfortunately it was really disappointing. The risotto was dry, overcooked and looked like it had been cooked the day before. For the price, the 3 pieces of lamb saddle were pathetic as well as overcooked. Two positives are that our waiter Hilary was great and the Rose superb.

    It was an absolute pleasure to have lunch at The Vine Bistro on a cold and rainy day, and to showcase the offerings of this restaurant and winery to our family visiting from upcountry; the lamb was delicious and the Syrah was superb. After lunch we visited the glass museum and marvelled at this unique collection. It was a day well spent. We were wondering about the symbolism of the logo - the rhino with its rider?
