On Friday evenings guests are encouraged to laze on the lawns in front of the estate’s tasting lounge, from where the lush vine-covered valley drops away into distant hills. With sunset views of Table Mountain and the range of peaks aligned along the Westward curve of False Bay, visitors can relax and enjoy live music whilst sipping on Alto’s iconic red wines.
Alto has earned its reputation over close to a century as one of South Africa’s most respected red wine estates. Precise understanding of the terroir and the vines that thrive here has been shaped over generations and led to just five varieties being grown on the estate. Only five wines make up its portfolio.
Entry to the ‘Friday Sunset Rouge Evenings' is free of charge; a complimentary glass of Alto Cabernet Rosé 2018 will be served on arrival. Opening Time: Fridays from 17h00 to 20h00 - weather permitted. As Alto wines will be on sale, guests are not permitted to bring their own alcohol, guests are however welcome to arrive an hour early should they be interested in a quick tasting before the first set starts.
Cheese platters are available at R140.00 per platter; bookings secure your spot. To reserve your space call +27.218818334 or e-mail info@alto.co.za / Iboraine@distell.co.za.
