My group has decided to spend a day in the wine valley to discover how the good South African wine is produced.

From Cape Town we went to Stellenbosch, situated about 50 kilometers east. It is the second oldest European settlement in the Western Cape province.

The South African wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually. Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research.

The small city looks like a cenarium. The time seems to be stopped there.

We visited the Village Museum. It shows the four historical Stellenbosch house’s built in four different city moments:

THE SCHREUDEURHUIS – 1680 – 1720

BLETTERMANHUIS – 1750 – 1790

GROSVENOR HOUSE – 1800 to 1830

OM BERGH – 1850 – 1870

We visited three different wine yards and understood a little bit more about wine production…

All vineyards offer wine tasting, we taste lots of kinds of wine and almost got drunk.

The third post will be…from Wineland to Durban…
