		<description><![CDATA[Lovane is a boutique wine estate situated right next to Neethlingshof. They got their name from the the word U&#8217;Lovane, which is the Xhosa name for a Chameleon. There was apparently a lot of Chameleons on the farm back in the days.
All their wine are named after a Xhosa word. They have a Petit Verdot &#8220;Umama&#8221;, which means &#8220;mother&#8221; and a Cabernet Sauvignon &#8220;Utata&#8221;, which means &#8220;father&#8221;. Their is also a few other names like &#8220;tamkulu&#8221; (grandfather), &#8220;lliwa&#8221; (rock), &#8220;abantwana&#8221; (children), &#8220;isivuno&#8221; (harvest), &#8220;umgidi&#8221; (feast) and &#8220;iziko&#8221; (fireplace).
So basically Utata, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I visited Vredenheim a year ago and boy have they made some changes! They are definitely catering for a bigger market now with two new restaurants and a new tasting room. They even have a curio shop now as well. The wine list did not change much. The wine is easy drinking and cheap. They do not export their wine and it&#8217;s also not for sale at retail shops.
Our host Susan Viljoen was friendly and informative. We met a few regulars that visit the farm often for a quick tasting ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stellekaya Winery is situated in town and years back it was actually a Brandy Cellar. The tasting room is in one of the old brandy maturation tanks.
Stellekaya means &#8220;home of the stars&#8221; and the host Lieze Norval is in fact a star. She was very friendly and chatty and I had a great time there. She went through all the wines and explained each of them thoroughly. The labels on the wine represented some of the star signs. The Merlot is represented by the Taurus, the Shiraz by  the Aries ...]]></description>

Once you have found a parking space you can enter the wonderland of experiences that they have on offer. It&#8217;s obviously not my first visit to Spier and I don&#8217;t think that it will be my last. Apart from the fact that it&#8217;s extremely busy, it&#8217;s always a pleasure to walk around the farm, shops and historical buildings. It&#8217;s almost as if you are at a carnival, and I think they even have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skilpadvlei is a nice place to bring the family for a Sunday lunch in the valley. The tasting room is a bit boring and needs some TLC. Our host, JP de Toit, was very friendly and good looking and made up for the bad interior. I&#8217;m thinking of creating a &#8220;Wine Hottie&#8221; page on the site. He&#8217;ll be the perfect poster-boy for February. The wine was easy drinking and affordable.

On your drive up to the estate you can enjoy some wild life viewing and on arrival, you can indulge in their amazing wine. Our host, Amelia Lotter, was friendly and informative and made our tasting experience very pleasant. The wine is excellent and worth every cent. Be on the look out for some nice specials that they run from time to time. They had some Saxenburg Gwendolyn 2002 for R15 a bottle. It&#8217;s always ...]]></description>

It&#8217;s one of those estates where you can buy an excellent bottle of wine for under R80.  I opened a bottle of their Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 to impress a friend the other night, and oh my goodness, did it work!
I like the classic look that they&#8217;ve got going.  It makes them appear mysterious and interesting. The host,  Niell van Velden, was ...]]></description>

Our host, Hetster Gikas, was friendly and made our tasting there enjoyable. The interior was warm and friendly and there had fresh hand picked flowers on each table. They had one white wine and five red wines on tasting and they were all well priced. They were also the first farm in South Africa to produce the Pinotage and Merlot Blend.
PS: Beware of the speed ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meerlust is situated in a beautiful setting and it really feels as if you are visiting an historical wine farm in the heart of the Stellenbosch Hills. Living up to their well known and prestigious name, the host was very informative and friendly and gave us a rundown on the history of the farm. The prices of the wine are quite high, but at least they have a good reason. Wine is produced in very expensive barrels that are made from New French oak. The price per barrel is R14 ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Kanu is famous for the quality of wines produced, they also have a secret weapon in friendly and genial host Kobus Kanu. Kobus is always around, always friendly and always helpful.  His presence creates a great atmosphere and makes the tasting even more enjoyable.
The tasting room has a relaxed and informal feel and I am especially fond of the couch corner with the fireplace&#8230;.perfect for sipping wine on a chilly winter afternoon.
Kanu is well know for their exceptional wines. You can also taste and buy Mulderbosch wines at Kanu. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jordan Winery is well known for their spectacular panoramic views of Table Mountain, False Bay and Stellenbosch. I did not see any of those from where I was standing, but there was a nice big pond with green grass all around. 
We where welcomed by Megan when we entered the tasting room. She was friendly and  knew all the wine lingo blah-blah.  Unfortunately it felt as if we were standing at a busy bar with one bar lady.
The wines available for tasting were easy drinking, but pricey for easy drinking ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Uiterwyk is situated in beautiful Stellenbosch Kloof valley and in 1791 it was the&#8221;last outpost&#8221; on the road between Cape Town and Stellenbosch. The tasting room and  wine cellar is a bit  art deco and needs a bit of TLC. It appears a bit cold and dull.
Our host Daniella Malan was friendly and knew her wines from A-Z. She told us about the history of the farm and there awesome wines. I really enjoyed there Viognier 2008 as well as their Pinotage. Their wine is great value for money. We ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can drink wine and get pampered at the same time? NO WAY! I found a piece of heaven! Situated just outside Stellenbosch, Clos Malverne is definitely the hottest new Wine Estate to visit in the country. The view is absolutely breath taking  and the wine even better. The tasting room has a stylish and fresh look, with comfortable couches and modern chairs. The tasting room manager, Jenny Burger, was friendly and made us feel right at home.
She started our tasting with their Sauvignon Blanc and then we moved onto ...]]></description>

Our host Stefan de Klerk informed us that it was his first day on the job and I really appreciated his honesty. It contributed to the easy going and relaxed atmosphere.
The wine was way better than our previous stop and extremely affordable. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and winemaker of Bonfoi, Johannes van der Westhuisen. He told us that ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asara is another Wine Estate on the Stellenbosch Hills wine route that got a face lift since my last visit.  They are way bigger with a new restaurant, a delicatessen shop and a huge tasting room. They went for the Tuscan Villa look, which does not really suite the Stellenbosch area.  It feels as if you are visiting an upmarket Ratanga Junction, it&#8217;s just missing the rides.
The staff in the tasting room was friendly but uninformed. They did not know much about the wine or the history of the ...]]></description>

The wine, the view, the host! The tasting room is modern and has a lofty feel to it. It has amazing views over the Stellenbosch vineyards and Cape Peninsula.
Our host Cindy Swiegelaar was great. One can see that she has a great passion for the wine industry and she made our experience unforgettable. Amani&#8217;s motto is that the customer comes first and they will do ...]]></description>
