    January 28, 2024 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Jill and I went to the cruise terminal to meet our tour leader . The other 8 people on the tour were all from the Bollette and they had all booked in different ways.
    the first stop was Freemantle in Paarl, one of the oldest farms in the area. we tasted 7 wines which were paired with cheeses which were made over the road. I bought 1 Spanish style and 3 blends of Shiraz , grenache and another.
    We drove a short distance to Franschhoek to a restaurant for lunch. I had prawns and a salad with avocado and mango salsa. We had wine with the meal and tried MCC which is SA champagne. Then we visited the town, lots of nice shops .
    Then we went to the second tasting at LaBri. 3 red wines paired with chocolate with white wine to cleanse our palettes and more fizz.
    Then we had a walk around Stellenbosch, which was a very smart town with lots of shops and restaurants and art galleries.
