Cape Town- Vineyards and Bo-Kaap

We contacted the driver who brought us back from the Mount Nelson Hotel Afternoon Tea, and set up a tour for our "spare" day in CapeTown. We discussed driving around CapeTown to see Bo-Kaap, going up to Table Mountain, and possibly a wine tasting. I received a text from him saying that he had to take his wife to hospital, but that one of his colleagues would take over if that was ok. It was fine with us. So our Driver was Ciril. The only problem was that in discussing things with the previous driver and us, the only thing that stuck in his mind was wine tasting.

Not the worst thing.. but Table Mountain is out of the picture now. We will be back in Cape Town for turnaround day, but the cable car will be closed that day so the workers can attend a funeral. My Dad always said we should leave something for the next time.😁

So we went to two vineyards and tasted some really nice wines.

The first was Babylonstoren, where we had their Blend, Cabernet, and Shiraz.

Then to Delaire Graff Estate (Stellenbosch) where we had Shiraz, Merlot, and Botmaskop.

On the way back we drove through Bo-Kaap.Read more
