SA Trip: Stellenbosh

This past week we've been staying in Somerset West, a town about 40 minutes from Cape Town. Some very kind friends have allowed us to stay in their house while they're away and it's been wonderful, as it's much closer to several areas we wanted to explore, than Cape Town.

One of those areas nearby is Stellenbosh, a beautiful wine growing region. We've spent the week visiting various wine estates, eating in delicious farm restaurants (all offering wonderful fresh grown food) and doing a bit of wine tasting.

One of our favorite wineries so far is Tokara and we've enjoyed lunch here twice. Their deli/restaurant is called the Deli Cat Essen (ha!) and has the most delicious food. They even have a playground and beautiful lawn for kids and the views were stunning. No wonder we went back!

You could look at these views all day long and never get tired of them



Where all that magic happens!
