While still sick from drinking the bad Mossel Bay water, Chris and I decided to do the 'hop-on hop-off'bus tour of Cape Town. Big surprise: we hopped off at the Constantia wine route. We first went to the Groot Constantia wine estate. We did a wine tasting of five wines each, including the award winning chardonnay. We then followed the wine by the winery tour. They showed us part of the estate and the process of making wine. They talked about the differences between red and white wine. The guide even showed and explained the process of making corks. After spending a number of hours there, we went to Eagles' Nest. We enjoyed some more wine tasting and had a snack platter. After we finished at Eagles' Nest, we hopped back on the bus. By the time we had finished at both wineries, it was time to head back to the hotel. Even though we did not accomplish much, we had fun at the wineries, obviously.
This picture is from the sign at Eagles' Nest Winery. Much truth.
