During our stay in South Africa we only had a couple of days in Cape Town. Our main purpose was to catch a World Cup match. However, during our planning for the trip many people told us that we couldn’t leave Cape Town without visiting some of the wineries. You don’t have to tell me twice. This photo was taken from the van on our way up to Stellenbosch. If you are in Cape Town, don’t miss out on this experience. The scenery is wonderful and the wines were superb.

Hi
My sister lives in Fishoek near Cape Town. It is a beautiful area in South African, pity you didn’t go along the garden route (coastline) Stunning!

Lovely picture capturing the low clouds.
If I go back I’ll do the garden route!
I love the contrast between the fields and the mountains! 🙂
The landscape is really interesting there.
living in Cape Town one tends to get a bit blase about the scenery, wine farms etc.I must make a plan and go for a trip around the wine route soon. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
I loved the area…have a glass of wine for me.
I am definitely biased towards the wines – I feel they are the best I have tasted 🙂
They were really tasty…I need to sample many more before I can decide though 🙂
Yay! Some serious kudos for this photo. Stellenbosch is freaking awesome 😀
I agree with you 🙂
Beautiful pic. The mountains make such a wonderful contrast. Don’t think I’ve ever tasted a South African wine. Have to give it a shot!
They are good!
It´s on my bucket list!
I know you will love it!
I, too, visited Stellenbosch when I was in South Africa. It is beautiful. Thanks for the memory!
Glad I could help…it is a wonderful area.

Between the colors, textures, and shapes in this shot, you’ve managed to capture a marvelous photograph. Great take! 🙂 Really pretty.
Thank you for the kind words.
Winery! Of course I would want to check it out also. Glad the wine was superb!
I don’t know much about wine, but I do know that I really enjoyed the ones we sampled.
