👍👍 We visited Iona last Friday (29.10.21). Loved the estate and talking with Rozy and her assistant. Excellent wines. Attaching two photos, one of the classic Cape Dutch manor house, and the other of the classic VW beetle in the wine tasting room. A delight! People often mention wines, tasting,

    Had an absolutely fantastic experience at your winery. Karen was very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed your chardonnay and we will definitely be back.

    Very interesting winery, really good job with pinot noir, which is not an easy task. I shggest you try all their reds, wines are much different and each has its own caractere. Needless to say that this is a very beautiful location as well 💛

    Beautiful estate with a wine tasting costing 50ZAR. The wines (per bottle) were quite pricy for the quality so we ended up not buying anything. In the tasting room there is a small art gallery with beautiful pieces

    Great place to savour amazing wines, soak up the tranquil environment and views. you might also get to see a awesome vintage car or two .........like a 1953 VW Beetle

    Checked opening times on website - drove all the way to the Estate - we are from Dubai - to find a notice pinned on door to call for tastings - no reply!!!! Drove away. No call back. Unacceptable. Loved your wines - will certainly find another estate to support going forward.

    The dirt road is about 6km from Kleinmond’s side. When we drove it, not too bad for a gravel road but it is a bit of a drive without an SUV (or a rental🤣). The wines offer a unique taste experience. I would definitely recommend it if you keen on the drive:) I mean; just look at the entrance.

    Wonderful wine tasting experience with amazing views. Karin was a delight to chat to and walked us through the history of the farm and the tasting with expertise.

    Everytime i came to visit Gordonsbay i said i would like to visit iona wines ..well we went there today..through a dirty road at last we found it. Nobody was there not inside not outside...there was just nobody only dogs that came out to welcome us. It was a bit scary so we came all the way back home..was just not worth it so many kms and there was just o one. Because its my name the name of the farm ot would be so nice to visit..🙈

    Drove the whole dirt road just to find the gates closed. Get a sign at the entrance stating hours and if it closed instead of wasting so many people's time and petrol. Also the dirtroad is really long hence the importance of a sign

    Really beautiful setting, with interesting stories of Iona's name and history, told by the daughter and sommelier Sophie. And the the wine is really enjoyable too, if a little on the pricey side.

    Off the beaten track, but a hidden gem for sure! We recently stumbled upon this beautiful farm and were very pleasantly surprised with the quality and variety of wines produced there. First prize was meeting and learning from our somelier, the lovely Sophie. Thank you
