CHILLING AT CAPE POINT VINEYARDS

It has been a busy week for us and it didn’t let up. We love this time of year because it is when friends visit from all over the world and March has brought us friends from Holland, Germany, Australia and England, so there is a lot to fit in and a lot of entertaining to do. However, we spent our 9th wedding anniversary working at the market in Long Beach and then, as we had been invited by Duncan Savage, Cape Point Vineyards winemaker, we went to have a romantic sundowner on their lawn.
They really do these picnics properly. You get groundsheets, huge cushions to laze on and really friendly staff bring you your wine, with good glasses, and, if you want supper, your picnic basket.
We bought a bottle of Splattered Toad Sauvignon blanc and spent two stolen hours watching the sun go down; definitely the best place to chill after a heavy week’s work.
They do have a tented marquee with tables and chairs should you not be a lawn lizard.

We will definitely return for the picnic with some of our friends. Lovely birdlife there and a splendid view
