However, our most memorable afternoon was at the Camberley winery which we felt compelled to visit as we hail from Camberley in Surrey. Our host, the manager, was most welcoming and gave us a personal tour and the opportunity to taste many fine red wines for free. Leafing through the guest book we could see that many lucky folk from Camberley had also been this way before.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23125 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23004 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23004 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22945
If you join the Warwick Wine Family, they will arrange to send you a mixed case of wine every six months in the UK, and you get invited to their Garden Party in December, where you can get very drunk on the finest white and red wines for free. Another benefit is the 20% discount on buying wines at the estate]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22945 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21821
The food is simple, with Cape Malay dishes the speciality.

Waterford is known for its chocolate and wine tasting, where you get three pieces of different chocolate with three different red wines]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21820 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21819
They cater for both small and large parties of people with surprising ease. The steaks melt in your mouth, and if you have a sweet tooth, the duck & cherry pie is very good. For dessert I've never got past the creme brulee, but they all look very good]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21819 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21448 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21448 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18540 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18540 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16648 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16648 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1998

We sat around the pool and had what has to have been one of the best meals I've ever eaten, all washed down with the vineyard's own wine (which we then went and bought half a case of). The service was incredible, the food quite gorgeous and the scenery stunning. Doesn't really get any better. And the total cost? Well, it was a couple of years ago now, but the bill for two with wine came to around £60 - which is a fortune by South African standards - but a bargain in the grand scheme of things. For a real treat, you could stay in one of their rooms as well but that was a treat too far for us.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/866
