From tipsy to intoxicated, you can do whatever you want to me! !

When you come to Cape Town, how can you miss the Great Constantia Wine Estate? Grand Constantia Winery As soon as you enter the gate, you will be immersed in the endless green of the estate. The large green grape-growing areas, the relaxing lawns, the white old European-style buildings, the blue sky and white clouds, and the refreshing sea breeze from False Bay are really a treat! The winery is located in the central area of ​​the Constantia Valley in the South Peninsula of Cape Town. It is the oldest wine estate in South Africa with a history of more than 330 years. It is backed by the southern foot of Table Mountain and faces False Bay. It has abundant sunshine and rainfall, and has unique geographical location and climatic conditions. Visiting the wine cellar and winery museum is an important project here. Napoleon's favorite wine originated from the "Grand Constance" and was produced in the Cloete Cellar, which can be visited today directly behind the Groot Constantia Manor. 🍀Wine tasting is something you can’t miss! There is a tasting package of 4 wines to choose from. 📌If there is sparkling wine, you should taste it first, and then taste it in the order of white first then red, dry first then sweet, and light wine first then heavy wine. 📎How to taste?
