I love my wine, I love vineyards and that feeling of complete freedom and peace that you experience as you drive through the scenic routes and the nalong the eine route.
The Cape is absolutely amazing and they have so many options for places to go to.
Wine tasting at vineyard is always the best way to discover the different varieties and they often have food pairing along with it but as a family, it is not really possible to do a wine tasting because you do have to watch the little ones.
We decided to sit in the restaurant and order a bottle of the vineyards best wine along with a meal, which turned out to be a great idea.
The weather was good, no wind and it was warm which was fantastic for sitting outside in the fresh air, under the trees, watching squirrels run up and down, kids laughing, views of the ocean, mountains and vineyards...what a day!
The service was very good and the waitress was well informed on the wines and the meals, she kept on returning to see if we needed a top up and she also made suggestions that were good.
I ordered the special of the day which was a steak with a side of veg and chips, actually we all ordered that and we had a starter of prosciutto, fig and blue cheese.
The steak was done to perfection, green beans fresh and crisp and the sauce was creamy and fresh.
My only gripe was the starter; a fantastic idea with the fig, cheese and prosciutto but "SACRILEGE" because the Prosciutto, a delacacy was added on crsipy and cooked.
It would have been amazing if the cold meat was left as that, rather than destroyed in a fryer.
Other than that, a beautiful bottle of wine, fantastic scenery and amazing food.
