“Taste the Original” is an immersive walking and tasting tour that delves into the heart of a working wine farm, exploring the heritage behind South Africa's proud Pinotage varietal. It's a rustic and authentic journey, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the history and innovation of Dekkersvlei – home to the world’s first white Pinotage.

Here's a glimpse of what awaits: a cellar & distillery exploration to get an intimate look at the production process. Then an easy vineyard walk, strolling through picturesque vineyards, including the celebrated Pinotage blocks. Finally – end with a winery & “Taste the Original” experience: a 3-wine Dekkersvlei tasting, featuring a selection from the winemaker and, of course, the exclusive small-batch world’s first white Pinotage – uniquely served both at room temperature and chilled for a taste explosion.

For an even more elevated experience, we will offer premium upgrades like additional wine tastings, private underground cellar tours, and unique wine barrel tasting moments.

Dekkersvlei is conveniently located just 45 minutes from Cape Town, just off the N1 national road – great as a stop on the way to or back from Aquila or Inverdoorn. Don't miss your chance to “Taste the Original” and add this incredible, unique experience to your Cape Town bucket list!
