Visiting Stellenbosch Wine country....Day 6

We woke up this morning to mist over the mountains and a temp of 20 degrees, that's a drop of 14 degrees overnight,  quite astonishing.  After breakfast we were collected for our Wine tour, along with two young German girls, we made our way to our first wine farm.

The Lanzerac  wine farm is set in a stunning position surrounded by huge mountain range. We started off by sampling 5 wines that were paired with 5 different types of chocolate. After our wine  tasting we wandered around the grounds and came upon a wedding taking place in a stunning  location. 












We then moved onto our second wine farm  named, Neil Ellis,  this was smallish  farm but the 5 wines we shared with our German friends tasted were very good.












At the third wine farm, Camberley,  we decided that it would be a good spot to have a light lunch, sitting under the dappled light beneath the trees. The Camberley is a boutique wine farm with owner living next door.

Moving on, were reached our fourth wine farm, Boschendal, this was huge place with a high class restaurant,  a farm shop selling local bread,  cheeses,  meats and of course  a large selection of wine.














Our final stop was a Zorgvliet wine farm and this was the one with the most spectacular views of all. From the old Dutch colonial house, to the the huge pond with herons feeding and a horse paddock where Mandy made friends with a small pony.

All in all a superb day out with good wines, good food and some incredible  scenery, highly recommended.
