Morning light over Table Mountain eases the city awake, and an air‑conditioned vehicle pulls away from Cape Town toward vineyards that march up valley slopes. Rolling rows of Cabernet and Chenin Blanc frame whitewashed estates; cellar doors open to the smell of oak and cool underground rooms where bottles hum with age. Walks through the vines leave dust on shoes and a clear view of the Franschhoek Mountains cutting into the sky.
