Title: The Hills are alive
Post by: elsa hoffmann on January 20, 2017, 16:12:23

With the sound of wine
I had a very specific request from a guest - and it all had to happen on a wine estate.
After searching for a month - I finally found a place which is perfect. These 2 wine estates offers it all.
Dating back just about to 1685, its just about the start of our history (considering the first settlers only arrived here in 1652)
The Cape was all about Viticulture.

Very peaceful set of images.  The two gentlemen and two chickens shot makes me smile: blue clothing, red crowns, green foliage...everything fits nicely.

Elsa, yes, I saw the wine bottles, just that I do not associate the smell of chickens with wine , it may be an interesting experience   :)

I think the chickens drink wine - so they don't smell haha

Thank you PedroS and Peter. This is definitely one of my favourite wine estates.

Great documentary series Elsa.  It looks very tempting to visit these wine-estates.  Like especially the contrast of the first one, the fresh green, the cultivated white house and the rocky mountains.
