Kay & Monty Wine Tasting

Set in the lush rolling hills of The Crags in the heart of the Plett Wine Route – South Africa’s smallest “Wine of Origin” production area – Kay & Monty Vineyards is a small, family-owned wine farm with just under eight hectares of land under vine. The charming tasting room and restaurant offer a relaxed location for long, unhurried lunches served family-style in a converted orchid greenhouse, which also transforms into an elegant wedding venue for celebrations large and small.

You are invited to enjoy the fresh country air with a wine tasting and long, leisurely lunch with a view of the dam and the far-off Tsitsikamma Mountains. The food offering includes mouthwatering cheese and charcuterie platters, flatbreads and salads, as well as a tasty kids menu and a selection of drinks in addition to the estate's own range of boutique wines.

Stretching from Harkerville to The Crags, the Plett Wine Route is considered one of the most significant up-and-coming wine regions in the country. Kay & Monty was only the second farm in the area to plant vines and now produces four crowd-pleasing boutique wines; an aged sauvignon blanc, a rosé, a red blend and a Cap Classique. Among the varietals growing on the farm are cool-climate classics like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Shiraz, as well as more unusual grapes like Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan.
