Fairview and Muratie were excellent tastings. The wine tram and Rickety Bridge did not meet my expectations. We were dropped off at a market at Franchoek to get lunch!! Not much choice and no place to dit and eat. Would have preferred lunch at a winery restaurant which looked very nice.

Vi hade en fantastisk dag! På grund av en bilolycka på väg till första vingården hamnade vi efter i tid. Vår guide lyckades pussla om dagen och vi hann med allt ändå. Dagen var väl organiserad och guiden såg till att alla mådde bra
