The cape of South Africa is known for it's wine. Thankfully my parents and I all love to drink it.
I've had several friends come to Cape Town and take various wine tours, but we found a great company, Cape to Grape, which worked perfectly for us. Turns out it was just us, the tour guide, and the tour guide's father, so we had a pretty personal experience. We drove through several parts of town just outside Cape Town and visited six different wineries. Each winery had something special to offer; Cheese pairings, biltong pairings (which is pretty much South African jerky made from all sorts of animal meat, like ostrich or kudo or beef), lunch (always necessary with six wineries), or a fantastic view overlooking wine fields. My favorite was the cheese. So... six wineries, six wines at each, a bottle at lunch, and a few extra glasses when the pour-er was feeling generous... Believe me, that's a lot of wine to consume in one day. By the end of it all we were a very happy group, probably a bit of a handful for our guide.
