Stellenbosch

We got to ride our bikes through this georgous little town in South Africa. Were riding to a winery in the country side.

I have visited the charming and historical towns of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschoek.All of them are wine regions which offer the most amazing scenery and are steeped in history dating back to the 1600s ( one of the oldest cementry in South Africa is located in Paarl)…The best South African wines-:)

We were shown round the first winery and then th tour guid took us down to the cellers and let us taste a load of different wines. There was every kind of wine you could imagine. We learnt the difference between wine matured in woodbarrels and stainless steel barriers, filtered wine and unfiltered wine, port etc. The couple we were with were going on about tropical fruits and asparagus and all kinds of complex flavors and wine making techniques we’d never heard of. It was definitely educational. I like the sweet wines and ports that we tasted at the end. From there we went on to another Winery which had its own vinyards and a beautifully decorated restaurant.
