We did the Southern Route on a Sunday in June with Ashten. We visited a couple of wineries (Neethlingshof, Spier and Kleine Zalze) and the brandy distillery Van Ryn. Our favourite winery was Kleine Zalze although they were all lovely. I had some MCC's to taste and my husband did the wine tastings, all were delicious and the winery staff very knowledgeable.

I must also mention Veronika who was our main point of contact. She was very friendly and prompt with messaging, even after business hours.
