After we checked in we were offered a glass of bubbly! The room was gorgeous – check out Penny’s video!
So we cleaned up and then went downstairs to the Wine Tour Reception to start our big event.
Unfortunately, neither Penny or I took our phones so no pictures. 🙁 Kathy Van Zyl is our Tour Guide and she shared some of her extensive knowledge on South African wines. She has spent time in most wine producing countries so her knowledge is immense.
Along with various appetizers (canapés), we tasted a Bubbly (MCC), Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a Cab/Merlot blend. A lot of wine and food, so we decided not to do dinner and instead went up to our luxury room and ordered Dessert – me a Malva Pudding (a South African specialty) and Penny had a cheese cake with extra berries. Both delicious (made up for that dieting brunch).
