Warwick’s red wines are legendary, particularly its Bordeaux blends. The winery offers an informative Big Five wine safari (referring to grape varieties, not large mammals) through the vineyards, and picnics (R550 for two people) to enjoy on the lawns. Advance bookings are required for picnics, but simple cheeseboards are available if you just rock up.
