It rained last night and the sky looks grey and ominous - but we decided to go for an early morning walk at Groot Constantia Estate which is a working wine estate held in trust for the people of South Africa. Its history stretches back to 1685. This is the old manor house - one of the classic gracious Cape Dutch houses of the Western Cape. It is open to the public and has some fantastic walks, restaurants and a cellar where one can taste wine and go for a tour of the winery.

Wow, Caroline;) do you live there? Lovely post on the estate. I love the homestead. Greetings from a fellow South African, North Africa. Jo
ReplyDeleteGroot Constantia is a beautiful estate with stunning views. And best of all its right there in the middle of Cape Town.
ReplyDeleteNah - dont live there - but close enough to regard it as "our" estate! As it belongs to all South Africans, I feel a certain entitlement. Thanks for the comments! Greetings to you both.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous estate. Very nicely shot.
