The first stop comes to wine. We drove to one of Cape Town's old vineyards, the #Constantin Summer Wine Estate. The wine industry is one of the three major industries in South Africa. The cultivation of grapes and the brewing technology are all from France, so the quality of the red/white wine produced in South Africa is extremely high. And with a French style. In addition to watching, you can smell, the key can still be, of course, you can buy ~! When the Dutch came to Cape Town, they found that the place was at the intersection of the two oceans. The winter was mild and rainy, and the summer was hot and dry, which was very suitable for grape cultivation. So I started to bring European wine growing and winemaking technology here. Later, after the influx of British and French, Cape Town became one of the six major wine producing regions of the world. Everything in the winery is fascinating, the wine is fragrant, the interior lighting is very warm, the large lawn outside the door, and the tall oak trees, the vines in the distance are neatly arranged. The first stop on a beautiful trip to South Africa is a beautiful perfect score. #Where to go to New Years Day
