Don’t like wine but whine I did not! Great experience.
We stumbled upon the vast vineyards of Groot Constantia on our Cape adventures and I can tell you that we certainly were stumbling on the way back. As someone who does not dabble in wine often, I was skeptical about my enjoyment levels throughout the experience, especially wen my family decided to chose the option without the chocolate!! Nevertheless, the more wines we tasted, the better they got and our lovely wine connoisseur Kyle was ready to give us our next snifter as soon as we took our last sip. GREAT value for money and came away without branded wine glasses that I will be drinking gin and tonic out of for the foreseeable future.

Worthy of your time
Always beautiful to see the oaktrees lining the avenues and the vineyards still producing, all these years later. And magnificent views. Priest for food was very much tourist based and unaffordable for average South African, but what we tried was absolutely fantastic. Pleased to find a parking area much nearer to the Dwelling and restaurant near the top. There was a colorful art display full off movement of the Tuesday's. Would really have liked one of the paintings on display.
