As Stellenbosch wine route can be so incredibly busy in peak tourist season why not visit Wellington wine route, also there is plenty to do in Wellington on a visit here.
We paid a visit to Diemersfontein sampling some excellent Mocha, Chocolate Pinotage amongst other fine reds (ZAR 15) for tasting. On the Diemersfontein Wine Estate they have 20 room guesthouse, garden weddings, a large dam, a top notch restaturant & tastings 7 days a week. When I sampled their award winning 2006 coffee / chocolate ppinotage the aroma when it was being poured was just like cappucino heavenly. The label carries the words "It befriends - It converts - It seduces" visit www.diemersfontein.co.za (The products are available in other countries see website for stockists)
We also went to Ashanti & sampled some excellent wines which were incredibly reasonable. They have opened a small restaurant here as well the food is homemade and satisfying. At Ashanti you can sample all their wines for free and even though in comparison to Diemersfontein the wines are suprisingly reasonable they are good quality. I enjoyed the dry rose a bottle costing only R10 and the cabernet sav was only R25.
