Groot Constantia

Day 54

Today is the day to go to the oldest vineyard in South Africa- Groot Constantia. Groot Constantia has been in S.A. for 320 years and has won some wine awards. We walked about their museum, or information room, where we learned a bit about the history of Groot Constantia. Did you know that Groot Constansia was established in 1685? Did you know that Groot Constantia is said to be the finest vineyard in S.A.?

We then took a wine tour. The tour showed us men working, barrels, and fermenting tanks. In the tour you get wine tastings, so we tried five of their wines. We ate a cracker in between each wine so that you get rid of the taste of the last wine. We got into a deep conversation with the tour guide, so we didn’t leave until 4p.m.

My time at Groot Constantia was splendid and super. I liked the Chardonnay the best. I am a white wine guy.
