This is the tenth in a series of posts covering Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape region. Located not far from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is the Constantia wine region. It is the closet wine country to Cape Town. I will cover the more well known Stellenbosch and Franschhoek area later. Constantia is the oldest wine region and was established in 1685. The Klien Constantia winery is famous for its sweet wine favored by Napoleon, Jane Austin and others of their day. Many of these wineries serve lunch. The last row shows part of our lunch and the view from our table.
The last photograph, looking away over the vineyard, is breathtaking.
