There’s so many wine-estates worth mentioning, I’ll try to name just a that few visited so far and add to the list later on:
-
Tokara in the evening
Tokara Wine-Estate is beautifully located at the road from Stellenbosch to Frenschhoek, one has a wonderful view over the valley and may enjoy wine, lunch and in their remarkable restaurant dinner (which I haven’t tried, yet 🙂 )
For lunch, I had a good salad with chicken and fruit juice, just because it wasn’t yet time to taste their wine.
But I bought a Tokara Merlot 2015.

- The Boschendal Estate is located at the road to Frenschhoek and features apart from Wines, a beautiful restaurant, rooms for conferences and lodges for longer stays (all of which I again haven’t tried, … yet), as well as a nice little store with self-made marmelade, good bread and local produce.
Driveway at Stark-Condé
- Stark Condé is a Winery in the valley of Joenkershoek, where they grow most of their wines, but they also feature wines with grapes from other valleys, e.g. a great Chenin Blanc which originates from higher altitudes from the Bottelary Hills region.
The wine tasting (5 wines for 40Rand) is in the hut on the middle of this small lake.
This stitch is from 38 RAW images processes with RT, then fed into Hugin — this time no extra Control Points necessary… Well if You look closely, I should’ve included some. The final image created again has 22022 × 5745 pixels in a mere 1GB file, so a bit too big to upload and include 🙂
Lake at Stark-Condé
- The De Meye winery is located a bit on the out-skirts of the typical region. I tried their Merlot and Chardonnay — the latter one they produce without oak barrels specifically for the German market. They advertise their German reseller, which offers discounts as well.
