4th Post - Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden and Stellenbosch Wine Region

Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden is in a stunning setting on the back side of Table Mountain from Cape Town. We spent the morning there before continuing on to the wine region of Stellenbosch for a cellar tour of the Middelvlei Winery and a delicious Boere Braai (barbecue). We topped off the evening with a picnic lunch on Signal Hill at Sunset!
