Raka Wines

Another wine estate that we visited in December 2017 with my mom and stepdad was Raka: Born of the sea, Guided by the stars, Blessed by the earth. We had a car full of people and not everyone of wine tasting age, so this was a quick stop. I have a photo of our rental van, a 10-seater Quantum, in this series. I also included links below of previous wine tasting experiences at other fabulous South African wine estates.

Bouchard Finlayson Winery

We drove the Hermanus wine route with my mom and stepdad in December 2017. It's situated in the Walker Bay wine region in the scenic valley known as Hemel-en-Aarde or Heaven-and-Earth. Because our time was limited, we only popped in at a couple of the wine estates. Bouchard Finlayson Winery was our second stop. (The previous one being Hamilton Russell Vineyards and I have included that link below.) You can see by these photos that this boutique winery is located in a supremely beautiful part of the world making superbly wonderful wines.

Hamilton Russell Vineyards

While we are experiencing lockdown in South Africa, I'm looking back at old photos that haven't been shared yet on the blog. It's fun to see what we've done in the past. Last week I shared pics of Hermanus in December from 2017. Hermanus has a vibrant wine route that we explored with my mom and stepdad during that holiday. We popped in at a couple of wonderful wine estates. These photos are of Hamilton and Russel Vineyards. I have included links below of my favorite posts that are related to this one. Be sure to check them out!
