You step out of an air‑conditioned vehicle onto well‑worn gravel, grape leaves rustling as False Bay’s breeze nudges the rows. The day moves at vineyard pace: cellar coolness, a veranda with a view, the quiet clink of tasting glasses. By midmorning the Cape’s maritime light makes the vineyards glow and the guide’s voice threads history into each sip.
