Black Elephant Vintners in Noorder-Paarl

This place is a must visit when spending time in Franschoek, we did the Cap Classique experience with music and chocolate and it was honestly 1 of the best tasting experiences we’ve had so far. The vibe, the stories and the wine is fantastic!

What an absolutely wonderful way to spend an afternoon wine tasting! And such a unique experience pairing the wines with iconic soundtracks!One of the founders, Kevin Swart, took us on a journey, sharing tales of how the names of their wines were chosen, how the concepts were created for the branding and design and how the tastes of each wine was developed. Then, while sipping on the wine, he plays a soundtrack that he believes symbolizes the essence of that particular wine.A. Their wines and MCCs are outstanding!B. If you buy wine, the cost of the wine tasting is deducted.C. The wine tasting portions are very generous... so order an uber.Bookings can be made online, and at the moment these experiences are only done on Saturdays at 11h00. We rolled out of there about 13h30.

Absolutely excellent and unique experience. Fantastic wines and a brilliant setting. Would highly recommend.

Today was my 2nd visit. Having had such a fantastic first Vine and Vinyl experience with Kevin previously, I was thrilled to revisit for a friends birthday. Jacques was our host today and the experience was just as wonderful but quite a contrast from the first. It was interesting to hear different explanations of the process from the vintner and alternative music pairings for each wine.All I can day is go..... Especially fun with a group of friends. Not at all intense but you still learn a lot, in a lighthearted, chilled environment. I look forward to my 3rd visit 🥂🍷

Vildt fedt sted, lækker indretning. Vinene er super lækre, vores favorit var deres amazing Grace som er en rødvin, med stor frugt eksplosion på eftersmagen, uden nogen tydelig form for solsødme. Udover det deres boblende vin med zero dosage, var dejlig lækker især hvis man er til tørre boblende vine, den bedste beskrivelse er knasende sprød.Kan klart anbefale dette sted.

Kevin and his wife were very accommodating in opening up for us after hours and were happy to share some history and quirks about their wine.

The experience was just 2 stars for us, but a friend that went previously is always raving about his experience. I think we just had the rare bad experience.When we arrived the owner said that he was disappointed in the size of our group because he doesn’t make money off the tastings. It spoiled the experience for us. Very awkward to listen to music and drink with someone that’s disappointed.Beautiful vineyard. I’d recommend this place for a large group.

What an incredible experience, wine and music are the perfect combo and Jacques was superb host. Definitely worth a visit

A whole new take on wine tasting. Great wine, very informative presentation and great vibe with music. Lekker man!!

Perfect; the Mrs. and I did the Wine and Music Pairing Experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone in heading to the winelands. This house produces in my opinion the best MCC in the country, without a shadow of doubt. The MCC that comes out of this house, is far superior to most champagnes that youll find in your local bottle store. The venue is beautiful and intimate, and curated with art pieces from around the world.Kevin hosted us all amazingly, and created a great social experience that well remember for years to come. We will definitely be back.

Husband and I did the wine and music pairing - and it was the best experience we had during our wine tasting tour. Great wines, great experience, and a great company that stands for something more than just creating great wine. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!!

Your bubbly out of this world.

Amazing wine and music paring. Most inventive way of thinking about wine

What a great experience. Wine and music pairing with a fantastic around the table chat with the owner and wine maker. Must book.

Excellent big range of elegant subtle wines mostly fruity yet dryish. Interesting blends and single cultivars such as Durif. Grapes mainly sourced from Franschhoek. The novel wine and music pairing works well.

Best wine farm experience

Best bubbly in the valley!

Hidden Gem as far as I am concerned.I came across a Black Elephant MCC by chance in Joburg and am now swearing by it. Better than most champagne I say.We took the opportunity to visit BEV during our last trip and loved the other wines and the conversation. If Google let me, I would give Black Elephant Vintners a 6th or 7th stars out of five.

Really great experience, and the wines are focused on being easy drinking. The hosts are friendly and accommodating, where the music and wine experience is a great social experience. Not commercial or busy at all.

If you only go to one vineyard this is the one. If you get fatigued by multiple wine tastings this is the one you will remember.Kevin has done something amazing at Black Elephant, great wine and great marketing add up to 3 here.Im hooked - cant wait to get my hands on the next vintage of Amazing Grace.Will

Enjoyed the toast and outside seating

Its the 2nd wine tasting our wine club has had at Black Elephant and both were absolutely fantastic! I just love their unpretentious yet knowledgable philosophy and of course their wines are also fantastic. This time around we did the wine and music paring which was just so different and enjoyable. My favourite winetasting experience EVER! Thanks to all 3 of you and congratulations, just keep on doing what youre doing. Im sure youll be seeing us again....
