Driving up to the picnic lawns of the Franschhoek wine estate, Allée Bleue, you are aware of layers of history, layers of vines, and layers of fences. White iceberg roses ramble over the fence that lines the driveway, each row of vines has its own fence to climb along, and the white wall of the original homestead is the final fence - and behind that whitewashed wall is your destination - a fabulous picnic place. And it takes just under an hour to get there from Cape Town.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
