By Florine Meadows


Many people have a strong desire to get to know more about fine wines around the world. Wine touring in South Africa has become popular because of the quality that they produce. It is not only the product which one learns to appreciate, but one will also have a unique experience in the country which is incredibly beautiful and has so much to offer.

There is a lot that goes into producing a bottle of fine wine. It starts with picking the grapes to the end result of putting the labels on the bottles. In between that people learn about how win is stored. One also find out that not just any sort of wood can be used. It is something very special that will be able to handle the wine.

The history of the whole procedure as well as the wine farm can be a learning process in itself. Many of these farms have been around for years and years. They carry a great deal of history behind their name. A place like Groot Constantia is historic and a must visit. People not only learn about the whole process, but they will enjoy a day experiencing the beauty that the farm has to offer.

The benefits of going on a tour are that they do this on a daily basis and they have the experience. They are extremely knowledgeable and will teach you a bit about the history as well, which can be useful. This goes a long way back in the country. There are some wine farms that have been around for many years, so getting to know something about that can be really interesting.

There is a route in the Western Cape where you will find most of farms. They are in close vicinity of one another and they are easy to find. You may want to look at a guide and find out where you want to go. Some of them are private farms, but you will find many of them are public.

There are many different types of tours available, giving you a lot of different options. You can go out for the day or you can decide to stay over somewhere where there is accommodation available. This is a nice way to explore some of the town close by. These are normally quaint little villages which can be charming.

In some areas you will learn about wine pairing. This includes cheeses as well as other food types. This can be useful when you area cooking or entertaining. It is important to know what kinds of wine to use when you are having a certain type of soup or dessert, for example.

A lot of these farms are near Cape Town and you don't have a long way to drive until you find something that you like. There are a couple in Cape Town as well. However, many people like to get out of the city and relax in the country for a day. Doing this in the summer months is probably a better idea because it can get cold and wet in this part of the world in the winter time.
