The home of the Du Toit family, as in Pieter-Stef Du Toit, is a stunning wine farm. Lovely gardens and a well chilled tasting room it was a fitting close to our adventure.

 Small tasting room with a great view. The wines were OK. We even had a Dutch fan club following us to this little place. We named him the Flying Dutchman, with an incredible sense of humor and sharp wit. He and his wife were on their 15th trip to South Africa.
