South Africa is a New World country with a long wine history, more than 350 years. Some wines have been famous outside the country’s borders for many years. But the country’s modern wine history began in the 1990s. South Africa has excellent natural conditions for making quality wine. The climate is pleasant. The summers are warm but seldom too hot. The winds from the sea cool many of the vineyards. The rain comes mainly in the winter. The scenery is hard to beat.
Most wine regions are located in the Western Cape, many quite close to Cape Town. We will stay a couple of nights here (and we will, of course, go up to the top of the Table Mountain), but we will also stay in the wine regions, in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Hermanus on the south coast and in Riebeek Kasteel in trendy Swartland.
