The view across the Perdeberg valley from Ayama
Life appears to be returning to normal. We have several stories to tell this week and we have been able to drive to an interesting event. Not so normal is the gale force wind we have had here in Sea Point which has wreaked havoc in our garden and which knocked out a lot of Sea Point’s electricity last night. Thumbs up to the City Council which restored it while we were sleeping. Our stories follow, click on the titles or the pictures to open them; enjoy!
A quick visit to Perdeberg Winery
On our way to the Artichoke Festival at Ayama last Saturday, we made a quick call at Perdeberg Wines in Paarl's Voor Paardeberg area. Scudding clouds and a lovely view of a hillside of vineyards as we drove in. This is a producer we so recommend that you visit. There is a good selection of wines available at affordable prices, friendly people and an area just under an hour from Cape Town, with lovely country views. We took the R302 country road from Durbanville. And there are other good wine farms in the area, like Vondeling, Ayama and Scali, to visit. It is the area where some of our best Chenin Blanc grapes are grown. Read On…
