I have been to Creation many times over the years and it has always been excellent. The wine pairing experience with the tasting menu this time was an interesting experience and in the main well executed. Using props was a good idea but at times ridiculous and a little pretentious.

The staff member explaining each course appeared bored. The service was extremely slow and then I realised they were trying to delay our table so we synchronised with another 2 tables, that were also doing the full experience, (both of which arrived at staggered points well after us). This meant at times we had a thimble full of wine that had been poured for up to 20 minutes before our food arrived….not ideal on a hot day with the white wines. The wine servings were also pretty stingy, so tiny sips advised.

Lamb fat was not rendered enough and was returned to be cooked again. When returned, it was clear it had either been put under a very hot grill or blow torched as the fat was still not rendered but the top layer was black. (Lamb was still nice and pink but some parts were inedible due to the solid chewy fat).

Bottles of wine to purchase are totally overpriced. The wine quality however is excellent but has become too expensive. Don’t even consider using their British distributor as that’s at least twice the price again, it would be cheaper to purchase and ship-over yourself.

Creation is certainly an experience but not all of it was a positive one on this occasion.

After five years, due to COVID etc I finally came back to Creation for a lunch.
What a pity that I can not go there every Sunday for lunch.
Their food and wine pairing I can only score as 10 out of 10!
The wines are among the best of the Hemel en Aarde valley and their food would easily score one or maybe two Michelin stars in Europe and the quality/price is amazing.
Do not miss this if you are in the area.

Lovely stay in the cottage. Fantastic tasting lunch with wine pairing. Delicious food cleverly paired with different creation wines.

Visiting Creation was one of the highlights of our trip. The food, wine and service were all amazing. I was so pleased to have a delicious and well considered meal as a vegan as this has been a challenge whilst in SA. We would highly recommend Creation to everyone and we will definitely be back on our trip next year. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We spent a cold windy winters afternoon by the roaring fire at creation tasting wines and having a cheese and meat platter, the food and wine were both excellent. Service was good and included information about the wines we tried. There was a good choice for children. It was busy so we’re pleased we had booked. The views are stunning even when the weather is dull !

We chose and enjoyed the wine & food pairing menu.

The food pairings were perectly matched with the wines. The fish with the citrus and nartjie jus was excellent, however, the chicken and Springbok loin dishes were absolutely outstanding!

The composition of the deserts were good, but the execution must be worked on.

The service from Philip and explanation of the wine and food paring was commendable.

The Nespresso expresso's were outstanding.

Stunning setting, great service and outstanding food and wine.

Pitty we could not compliment Caroline (owner) personally. We are both in the food service industry and enjoyed our lunch immensely.

The wine tasting is very different to other places as it can be paired with food. We opted to just taste the wine and it was a great experience. They were quite busy and I would recommend booking beforehand.

We had been a few times previously and were so looking forward to returning. We were seated inside but it almost felt that we were invisible. Our designated waiter only seemed to see us when he was walking back carrying food or wine for other tables and as a result, we had to ask others for service. The food was excellent and reasonably priced and I like their way of tasting, with each wine individually priced. Unfortunately the service issue left us underwhelmed when our previous visits were exceptional. Disappointing.

We had the most amazing meal in the garden along with wine tasting. A private tour of the facility followed. Staff were fantastic and very engaging. Superb.
