Winelands Tastings

Our villagers enjoyed stunning wine and food pairings with magnificent views

January is the perfect time for winetasting fun in the Western Cape. Our residents were treated to various wine tastings and pairings at wine farms in the Winelands.

The first of the wine farms to be visited was Eikendal Vineyards. This beautiful winery has a delicious wine and cheesecake pairing offering. Residents were pleasantly surprised by the unique flavours of cake and wine paired together.

Somerbosch Wines was next on the list, for another sweet treat - a very interesting wine and ice cream tasting. This wine farm is tucked away between Stellenbosch and Somerset West and has a lovely shaded outside area. Our residents enjoyed the fresh air while being guided through the tastes by the hostess. After lunch, a gentle stroll through the beautiful estate helped to finish off what was a wonderful day.

We also visited the renowned Vergelegen Estate in Somerset West. Residents went on a tour of the wine farm and enjoyed picking and sampling the grapes off the vines. After building up an appetite we sat down and had the tastiest of lunches along with Somerset West's finest wine offering, the Vergelegen Wines.

With so many more wine farms to visit in the Winelands, stay tuned for more wine outings!
