You step out of the air‑conditioned shuttle and the vineyards open like a working map—rows of vines marching toward the Simonsberg with fynbos-scented air and distant mountain shadows. A tasting bench waits, a spread of local cheeses and a smoking braai where you’ll learn to build a South African BBQ alongside hosts from Kayamandi.
