Nederburg invites wine lovers to visit its beautiful farm in Paarl on 23 and 24 August, to personally choose and purchase from an exciting selection of rare vintage and limited-release wines, when it opens its “vintage vault” to the public.
There’s a Spanish proverb that promises, “With wine and hope, anything is possible.” In the Cape winelands, there is wine in abundance, and there’s also mild Mediterranean-type weather, gobsmackingly beautiful scenery, and a plethora of sumptuous hotels and lodges, some on magnificent wine estates where fine wines are produced and the sensuous pleasures of good living liberally uncorked. We hope you enjoy our choice of high-end romantic getaways in the Cape winelands.
