A Day in the Winelands with Mark and Blanche

Jul and Blanche in Tokara Winery, near Stellenbosch

Boschendal wine estate est. 1685; manor house in background built 1796

Lunch at Boschendal. Yes, those sandwiches and the homemade lemonade were Very Tasty.

(above and below) Located on the western slopes of Table Mountain, Groot Constantia is considered one of the most beautiful vineyards in the western cape. The manor house was built the same year the vineyard was established by Simon van der Stel, in 1685.

Enjoying a wine tasting at the estate. (do we look like we know what we're doing?!)
