Exploring Wineries

 

Great day exploring several wineries west of Cape Town.  Started in the town of Franschoek and finished in Stellenbosch.

 One of our first stops, the Atlas Swift winery. We tasted 5 Chardonnays and ended up buying 9 of them!  Some cool artwork on the bottles as well. 

Interesting old wine barrel transport (now a storefront ornament)


The 400yr old Muratie vineyards and winery




About 20yrs ago the winery was sold back to a family that had owned it 200yrs ago. They apparently got a great deal with the stipulation that they couldn’t change anything for 4 generations, including cleaning the cobwebs from the windows!
