Vineyard visit, tasting and lunch at Cape Point Vineyards



Cape Point Sauvignons have collected many accolades since their beginning in the late 1990s. Their Splattered Toad second label contributes a portion of the money from the sale of each bottle to the conservation of the endangered Western Leopard Toad, endemic to the area round the vineyards

Tractors and trailers

took us




high up the hill above Noordhoek beach

to Sauvignon blanc vineyards carved out of the stony hillside

where Cape Point Vineyards winemaker Duncan Savage

told us

about the farm and the way he grows the wines

Then down the hill again

to the tasting room, where Duncan led us

through a tasting of his wines

followed by an excellent light lunch
















prepared by his wife

The day was organised by Tracy van Maaren and Sue Anderson
seen here with Duncan
