Together with colleagues, I went for a nice wine-tasting, starting at 11am 🙂
And a wine-tasting it was, when I heard, that out of the three proposed options — we are gonna do them all!

Starting at Uva Mira up on the hills with a beautiful view over the valley towards Cape-Town, one could nicely see the False Bay, Table Mountain, Lionshead and the city in-between. To the left rises Table Mountain. I’ll add a picture of the mansion of Uva Mira estate at the Wine-Tasting Entry 🙂
Next stop was “Adoro Wines” where we also tried the local cheese with the wine, which needlees to say goes very well. By this time of tinewasting our chat grew even more slurred, mine at least. A picture tells more than thousand words… We sat in the sun, had good wine and cheese, and in the end I couldn’t properly pose a photo with the camera.

Our thyrd schtop of our singwashtung, we hit Boschendal. Last time I visited, I just had time to get to the shop. They have a large selection of different grapes and their wine-maker tries out new combinations — after all, (if I remember correctly) the estate, a cooperative, now has 7 different farms that grow for/with them.

After all this wine, we had to cool it off with a beer. So my very nice friends showed me their favorite bar in Franschhoek, the Elephant & Barrel.
