Stellenbosch

The wine from South Africa is probably well-known to everyone, right? It's one of the most famous "New World" wine regions. Franschoek and Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, are the top wine regions in South Africa. Both places are quite close to the city center of Cape Town.😉😉😉 Franschoek is about a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Cape Town. It's famous for the Wine Tasting Tram, which many people on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) have visited. You can take a vintage tram to travel between different wineries and get on and off at will. This way, you can enjoy wine tasting without the need for driving, making it a safe and relaxing experience. Pairing it with a night's stay at a winery accommodation makes it perfect.😂😂😂 For a day trip, I'd recommend the closer Stellenbosch, which is only a forty-minute drive from Cape Town. Stellenbosch is the most renowned concentration of wineries in South Africa. Many wineries offer tasting tours, 🥰🥰🥰some of which require reservations, so it's best to check in advance. I'm not a big wine fan and was too lazy to choose, so I just asked ChatGPT. ChatGPT recommended Delaire Graff Estate for red wine and Tokara Wine Estate for white wine.😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️ We first went to Delaire Graff Estate, which is owned by the diamond and jewelry tycoon Laurence Graff. It's not just a winery; it's also famous for its art collection, luxurious accommodation, and fine dining. We chose the ICON TASTING of four wines and ordered some snacks. After the tasting, we were already a bit tipsy. Considering we still had to drive, we didn't go to the second winery, Tokara, which was a bit of a pity.🫡🫡🫡 After leaving the Graff Estate, it was just a few minutes' drive back to Stellenbosch. We spent some time wandering around the small town. 🙂🙂🙂The holiday afternoon was very pleasant, and we also took the opportunity to aerate the wine.🥰🥰🥰 #WineWorld #ArtAndWine #SouthAfrica #SouthAfricaTravel #CapeTown #CapeTownTravel #Stellenbosch #SouthAfricanWinery
