Vergelegen
Vergelegen is a historic wine farm established in 1700. One of the oldest (and prettiest) in the area.
But by now it is a blustery day!
Nice wine tasting and then we had an amazing lunch in the restaurant.
Lourensford
A brisk morning on a very nice wine estate.
We had coffee and a little something, and then had a wine tasting.
Of course!
Mountains at Sunset
You can see part of the mountain range from the house.

Chilling in the University town of Stellenbosch in the heart of wine country.
Lots of fun and unusual sights, great food and just a wonderful time.

Michaelangelo Awards
We were treated to an insiders view of the Michaelangelo Wine Awards being conducted on Longridge Wine Estate. This is one of the world’s most prestigious wine awards with more than 2000 entries from as far away as China.
We observed the master Sommeliers doing the blind wine tastings and after a tour had a long discussion with one of Pieter’s friends who is one of the owners/organizers of the awards.
Wow!!
