Tokara

TOKARA is a picture perfect destination which offers visitors a unique combination of award-winning wines, brandy and olive oils, a gallery of fine art, a restaurant featuring one of South Africa’s leading chefs as well as a delicatessen.
TOKARA prides itself on making wines that are site specific. Even though vineyards were initially planted on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain at the Stellenbosch property, two other farms, Highlands in the Elgin district and Siberia in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus, were additionally acquired. In doing so TOKARA is able to produce wines which express the distinct characteristics of these three prime wine producing regions.

What a spot. Coming up the hill to enter the Tokara wine estate feels as if you are entering a Hollywood Hills mansion. They have paid attention to every detail inside and outside, it is a modern winery, surrounded by olive trees and vines. In the main building you can taste wines and olives in a relaxed ambience, you can also find a luxurious restaurant. If you walk up you can find another building where you have a small snack / lunch with a stunning view. If you are looking for a modern and chique winery with great wines and stunning views, you should not forget to visit Tokara!

Love the estate, beautiful wine collection, and the view is just amazing. Both the Deli and the Restaurant serve delicious food. Definitely a recommendable place!
