Wine Tasting Deliciousness

Wine tasting is a pure delight in Cape Town. We are staying out in the Bellville area which is a mere five minutes drive from the Durbanville Wine Area. There are so many wineries to choose from: old, historical barns to new fancy and concrete structures. There are no tasting fees, they don't mind if you help yourself to having more wine, the wines are rich with flavors and the prices are amazing (2003 bottle of Pinotage: 23 rand = $3.60) and most of them have an incredible restaurant so you can sample delicious food along side the wine. I really wish that we had more time here so we can travel through the wine routes in Stellenbosch, Constantia and Helderberg (although we've been told by the locals that these areas are more upscale...think Napa Valley versus Santa Cruz Mountains. I will always choose Santa Cruz Mountains over the Napa Valley scenery any day).
