Stark conde - Sneaky hour wine tasting

The weather was beautiful in Stellenbosch last weekend so myself and a group of friends wanted to utilise the sunshine with some wine. There's so many places to choose from in and around the student town. We decided to head to the Jonkershoek region as that was the road less traveled by.

We stumbled on to Stark Conde! What a treat!

For R30 you are allowed to taste five wines. We tasted their Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah and Pinotage.

The best part of the whole experience however was the surroundings. You sit in the middle of a pond surrounded by beautifull mountains. You feel totally isolated from your surroundings. 100% bliss.


Boardwalk leading to tasting area.

The Postcard Cafe situated next to the wine tasting area.

Before or after your winetasting you can go for breakfast, lunch or tea and cake at the Postcard cafe. This is still on my to do list! If you have been here let me know of your experience! I did see their desserts and a slice of chocolate torte is waiting for me.

On our way to taste :)

Relaxing afternoon with friends.


Tasting times: Monday to Sunday 10:00 - 16:00
Location: Drive up in the Jonkershoek road and drive past Lanzerac. A few kilometres beyond that you will find Stark Conde on your left side.

    1. Thank you for your feedback! They are truly blessed with a great location! Hope you're planning a visit to South-Africa soon to come and explore some more wine-tasting gems! You should visit Hermanus and do the Hemel and Aarde wine route! Check out my posts about Creation and Ataraxia!
