Helpful Tips
You can spend an entire day at Simonsig with all that is on offer. Start with a glass of orange juice and bubbles, by cutting off the top of a sparkling wine bottle with a sword. Once you have mastered that, try some of Simonsig’s famous wines with a comprehensive wine tasting under the tutelage of an expert winemaker. Then relax with your favourite wine while enjoying a tasty meal at the Cuvee Restaurant, where the pork neck and designer burgers are firm favourites. After lunch, enjoy a stroll around the gardens where museum pieces and artefacts are on display.
