Franschhoek

With a couple of days before our flight home, we decided to head to Franschhoek for some wine tasting.  French Huguenot refugees settled here in the late 1600s bringing with them their wine making expertise.

To aid you in travelling between the various wineries while intoxicated there’s a hop-on hop-off tram service (and connecting buses). Anya had done a lot of research to select which to visit, while I was content to just a random selection.

By the end of the day we’d sampled 20 wines from 4 different vineyards; Babylonstoren, Backsberg, Vrede en Lust, and Plaisir De Merle. I’m not enough of a wine connoisseur to rank the individual wines but they were all very drinkable, and subsequently drunk!
