This is a two-part series with today's post being Part 2. Last week's post (Part 1) was more about the restaurant and food. Today's post is all about the fabulous wines at Du Toitskloof Cellar.

Road Trip and Picnic - Part 1

My mother-in-law planned a picnic at a nature reserve on South Africa's beautiful West Coast while were were visiting over the summer holiday. We drove through Velddrif and took the Main Road that goes along the coast up to Rocherpan Nature Reserve.

We passed dry fields with burgundy lichen, white wildflowers and sometimes sheep or cattle. We saw the typical West Coast style homes that are reminiscent of the original fishermen cottages. We stopped on the way at a farm stall and bought wonderful savory pies to have with our picnic. It's called Die Skooltjie Padstal, which means "the little school farm stall," because it used to be a little school.

Fish and Chips on South Africa's West Coast

We always enjoy wonderful food every time we visit my in-laws at Britannia Bay. The fresh fish and chips we bought at the harbor and my mother-in-law made the sides, which consisted of two salads and a sweet potato gratin.

We also had a couple of South African wines, one of them is featured here: Edgebaston Pepper Pot. A traditional South African dish called "potjiekos" (meaning "small pot food") is cooked outside on a three-legged cast-iron pot called a "potjie" like on the wine label. If you want to learn about a few more South African beverages, visit my post: Summer Drinks in South Africa.

Fresh Mussels at the West Coast

We picked up a bag of fresh mussels with my father-in-law straight from the harbor at Saldanha Bay. We brought the mussels back to my in-laws' beach house at Britannia Bay. There the mussels were cleaned and cooked in two different sauces, a white wine sauce and a curry sauce. They were delicious! We also had good wine to go with them, White Mischief from Vrede en Lust. Amanda was the only one who wouldn't eat them, so she chose to have dinner at her friend's house, which was right next door.
