It's hard to put too much emphasis on the importance of planning . And paying dolphins more than the minimum wage to turn up on time proved to be money well spent !
This is a coastal drive to rival any in the world. Azure blue sea on your right . Jaggedy mountains on your left. Virtually empty road in front.
All leading to an omelette of outstanding taste and substance. Spinach and feta, listed as the health breakfast on the menu, with double shot cappuccinos undoing all the good of the omelette.
Thereafter, more coast road ( not so exciting ) before hitting the N2, again heading back to Somerset West. But why go home when you can slot in a wine tasting at one of SA's iconic wineries ..... Waterkloof .
An ultra-modern building : all concrete, glass, stainless steel and slate/limestone tiles.
The vineyard is biodynamic . Meaning, when it comes to the grapes, they do every thing according to the phases of the moon ...... Plant, prune, harvest. ( dance around naked ? )
White wines good, red wines not so.
Terri somewhat miffed at the demenor of the bored, young lady hosting us. Miffed turned to not so miffed, when I went to pay for the tasting.
"Where do I go to pay ?" Was met with ....
"Tastings are free sir"
"Oh, good. I'll take two".
"Stuart, behave !!!"
By the way, this vineyard is one of the top 20 places to eat in SA.
Another being Al's BBQ that night.
Invite only.
