Tastings &
Functions
Our tasting facility
is an intimate and rustic styled room
dating from the late 1800's that leads
out to our wine garden - this gives our
tasting facility a warm and inviting
feel. It's wooden floor and oregan pine
ceiling portrays a feel of yesteryear
although stylish decorated and newly
revamped.
We have a personal
and interactive approach that makes our
customers come back for more. We use
quality stemware, correct refrigeration,
correct lighting and offer ample

choice when buying our unique wines as
easy as possible.

seated for private tastings or corporate
meetings and workshops. We cater for
small intimate weddings, private
functions and year-end functions.
Karusa is the only
working vineyard and winery to cater for
these functions in Oudtshoorn. The
backdrop of the Swartberg and the
meticulously cared for vineyards makes
this the perfect photo shoot for your
wedding - with the beautiful Cango
Valley church a stone’s throw away.
