Don’t just take our word for it
I came here for a wine tasting. You get value for money as the person who helped us was very generous with the sparking and normal wines to the extent we had to stop him pouring more. 😆 We did the wine tasting in the cellar and that was special. The wine itself was lovely and depending on your taste, I am sure you will find something you like. I particularly like the Chenin and their Syrah.
We are a group of girls doing on a monthly basis a wine tasting. KANU was the BEST experience we had so far in 18 months. Cobus & his team welcomed us with open arms and spoiled us in the private wine cellar with the best wines & cheese platters. Well done Kanu for this unforgettable experience ~ memories for ever! We are HIGHLY recommending Kanu Wine Farm.
The one is a must to visit; beautifully charming, excellent wines (we loved reds), absolutely wonderful staff, all are just to enjoy 🍷
WOW ! What an experience ! We were welcomed with hugs when we arrived and navigated to the cellar tasting. Each wine was generously poured. Best white wine I have tasted (Kanu Chenin Blanc). The staff was so friendly and inviting. Will 100% come back !
Fantastic experience. Jani, our hostess was amazing ~ fun, witty but still profestional. She really made the visit pleasurable. About the place & wines... Putt~putt, catch & throw line fishing are some of the activities outside There are different options to sit for the tastings. We chose downstairs in the wine cellar ~ cosy & more relaxed. As for the wines... loved the Merlot, Chenin Blanc, Pinotage (and so did my credit card 😁). We ordered 2 cheese platters which was delicious as well. We can really recommend this wine farm
Fantastic wines and tge experience and scenery is just a plus!! I would recommend anyone in the country or from foreign regions to visit this amazing wine farm! Wines are incredible and the employees super friendly. They will see me again! 😊☺️☺️🍷
We had a very enjoyable afternoon at Kanu wines. The person who served us, Matthew, was new and still learning about the wines, but he was such an honest and keen character and this helped make a lovely experience. My personal favourites were the KCB chenin blanc, and the merlot.
I had a fantastic experience at @kanuwines! The shiraz was easily my favorite it’s an impressive, standout wine. A special thank you to Cobus, whose remarkable knowledge and passion for the wine made the tasting truly memorable. I also loved the look of the underground cellar; it creates such a cool, unique atmosphere. We will book next time for the downstairs celler experience Highly recommended for any wine lover!
We had the sushi wine tasting and it was amazing! They even made a vegan version for my friends. The person who served us was so nice and understanding. Highly recommend.
My wife and I had a very pleasurable wine tasting and experience recently at Kanu. The wines are superb, the service and atmosphere excellent, and prices very reasonable. All in all a worthwhile experience and highly recommended.
Ross Rhodes was amazing. The best tasting experience,ever at a wine farm.
Kanu is a lovely family spot to go to! We played on their putt putt course which is so interesting and had a most lovely time on the 26th of January. ..Their shop is just a little gem! Prices are so affordable and just a quaint little gem! The staff were so friendly...Great shaded parking a bonus too!Love the neatness and just really a lovely place!
What a wonderful experience! what a slay! 😍 wine was absolutely perfect, cheese board was lovely! staff was super friendly. Please do yourself a favor and visit this wine farm!
What a farm! Excellent service and great knowledge about wines. The wines themselves are great quality. Staff is very friendly! Thank you Cobus, Amy and Nicole!
Fantastic wine tasting! The tasting was amazing, with friendly staff and a really lovely atmosphere. It was nice and cozy inside (perfect for a rainy day), and the wine was very nice. The Noble Late Harvest and Old Vine Chenin Blanc are definitely a must-try for anyone visiting!
Went for the mini golf and stayed for an amazing lunch and wine. Specials of the day on sushi and a lovely bottle of Chenin Blanc. Was not on my list originally but would not hesitate to return. The staff were fast and courteous and a lovely patio for lunch or dinner.
Excellent experience at Kanu Wines. Loved the Chenin Blanc and would recommend! Cobus is just delightful and sweet.
Hayden Aydin was an amazing wine ambassadors they delivered amazing and friendly service and we enjoyed kanu chenin blanc and the kanu shiraz just was absolutely brilliant
Really good wines.. the Kanu Chenin Blanc is my favourite. Our host Kobus Germishuys is amazing!
The most amazing Wine Farm in the Stellenbosch area, which is a “hidden gem” that very few people visit. Highly recommend the Giselle MCC, the Bordeaux blend and the pinotage. Glad I discovered this place before the greater Stellenbosch community realizes what is hiding right in front of them.
Best experience ever..... Pinotage & Shiraz is the best...
Host Cobus is the absolute best! Had sich an awesome time. Pinotage wine is the best! .... Oh goodness.... So wonderful. Beautiful. Thank you. 💛🧡💛🧡
Lovely family venue, amazing food. Delicious pinotage
Received top tier service from Cobus at Kanu. High quality wines. The star of the show for me was the pinotage. Excellent hospitality. I will be back soon
Matthew was amazing. We really enjoyed it. The Pinotage was delicious!
Kanu'Angelina and Pinotage Rose are tops'the best. Excellent service 'Kanu and Cobus the best Combination.
We visited for my mothers 50th birthday and the service was amazing, Kobus is awesome and we absolutely LOVEEEED their Angelina Cap Classique ❤️ definitely worth it!!! Highly highly recommended!!!!
It was lovely! Best wines in Stellenbosch area.... Tatenda made us feel at home the moment we walked in! He knows he's wines very well👌🏻 Angelina Cap Classique was my favorite 😋🥂 KANU IS BEST
What an incredible experience. The atmosphere was incredibly, the people were amazing, but most importantly the wine was out of this world. I would advise the the MCC Giselle Cap Classique
Such a beautiful view of the vineyards and relaxed setting. Great for the whole family! We sat under the trees and enjoyed the most gorgeous food with the friendliest service. Wonderful place to go for the day out.
Laid back, relaxed vibe! Great views of vineyards, garden, pond, park for kids, separate putt-putt area. Friendly staff. Great food & wine. Lovely afternoon spent. Definitely on my list of places to visit again!
We had the best experience ever, from beginning to end. What a warm welcome in a beautiful setting with great atmosphere. I love the interior and décor! This was my first, but not last visit. Cheers to a taste of Kanu Wines.
The mythical bird of promise
The name Kanu comes from a legend told by an old Xhosa man raised on the Goedgeloof farm. Day after day he spoke of a mythical bird flying over the land — and of the promise it carried: that where its shadow fell, the harvest would be bountiful.
With the name comes the Kanu Promise. Every wine we make, at every price point, is made to deliver on quality and flavour.
