Wine tour day. After a strategic heavy breakfast several of us got into a van from the hostel and merrily made our way to a tour of 4 vineyards in the area. The wineries were Simonsig, Fairview, Boschendal and Tokara. We got to taste 5-6 wines in each one, with cheeses in the Fairview winery. Surrounded by the cape mountains and bright sunshine, it was one of the most decadent days of my life:
Here I am with Alex and Emily, two fellow tasters:
It was a lot of fun and a very sociable event but by the fourth vineyard I think everyone had had enough wine. The third Vineyard, Boschendal, was very old and displayed some Cape Dutch architecture:
The final vineyard gave us lovely views of the vines and grounds:
We returned to Stumble Inn around 5pm and were picked up to meet the BazBus for the short trip to the final hostel of my journey, Ashanti in Cape Town. Our room was en suite and was housed in a heritage building around the corner on Union St. Spooky to walk there after dark though.
