A low sun slants across Table Mountain as the van threads coastal roads toward the cableway—sea wind pushing the cloud "tablecloth" across the flat summit. The tour begins with a short orientation and a quick history of South African wine before moving inland: vineyards ribbon up the slopes of the Stellenbosch valley, rows of vines following old irrigation lines and stone walls.
