Seven Sisters Vineyards is my 153rd winery visit i Seven Sisters Vineyards is my 153rd winery visit in South Africa and you will notice that it has quite a West Coast flair. That is because the winery is named after the seven Brutus sisters (and one brother) who once lived in Paternoster up the West Coast. @seven_sisters_vineyards At an early age, their father lost his job after serving 25 years in the fishing industry. They were subsequently evicted from their home and were split up to live with relatives. Now, many years later, the family has reunited and acquired baron land in 2009. After many years of hard work, Seven Sisters Vineyards was developed into what it is today – a first-generation wine farm. #sevensisterswine #pinotage #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #stellenbosch #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
A one of a kind in the whole of AFRICA! It’s cal A one of a kind in the whole of AFRICA! It’s called the “Theatre of Aromas” at @sevenoakswineandcottages . Smell your way through different aromas prevalent in white and red wine, guess what it is, check your answer! I must say it was quite hard recognising some of the aromas but once I knew what it was, I could identify it! What a great way to train your nose. The Theatre of Aromas experience is just R50 per person. #aromasinwine #aroma #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #sevenoakswine #capewinelands #winegirl #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica #wolseley #breederivervalley
