Devon Valley Detour – a feast for all senses in the Stellenbosch winelands

When I found out I was the lucky winner of 2 tickets for the Devon Valley Detour, I was ecstatic with joy – you would swear I had just won the National Lottery! I adore this beautiful part of the lovely Stellenbosch Wine Route and was itching to visit once again (although I don’t need an excuse to visit the winelands!). This was the perfect opportunity to explore the scenic meander through lush vineyards and farmlands. And guys, there’s something for you too if you’re into craft beer.

Sunday Funday – Cool cocktails @ The Salt Yard

Spring time and the living is easy …. No wait! That doesn’t sound quite right. Summer time and the living is easy. Yes, that’s the song I had in mind. Now that spring is in the air and warm weather is on the way (well, it seems that Cape Town is a bit confused as we’re having a mini winter spell right now), it’s definitely cocktail time! For me, anytime is cocktail time but there’s just something about sipping on a cool cocktail on a warm, sunshiny day … Ooops! Sorry, got a bit stuck there daydreaming about lying in a hammock on a tropical island with a delicious Piña Colada in hand …
