THE
FLYING GOURMET VISITS CAPE WINE COUNTRY

stay. South Africa's vintages are among the world's best.
Some specialties include lovely Chardonnays, Pinot Noir,
Merlot, Cinsault, Riesling, Shiraz,Sauvignon Blanc, Caberbet
Sauvignon and Pinotage varietals. You will find that one of
the most pleasant ways to enjoy South African wine is on a
visit to the scenic wineland of the Western Cape. Few places
in the world are as stunning as these lush valleys. Towering
mountains are a dramatic backdrop for the rows of grapevines
and giant oaks.
Take a
leisurely drive through one of the many wine routes just
minutes out of Cape Town. Winemakers welcome you for cellar
tours and tastings. You will see historic wine towns graced
with lovely Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings, charming
guest houses, top-notch restaurants and interesting museums
and shops. The Constantia wine route is popular for both
beauty and historical significance. Established more than
300 years ago Groot Constantia is a superb example of a Cape
Dutch manor house. (continued)
