Visiting the Wineries

We were able to visit a couple of wineries to see the vineyards and do some wine tasting. We decided to do two wineries that were kid friendly.

The first one was Fairview. This was a very small farm like winery. Very Quiet. They had a Goat shed that the kids enjoyed watching the goats go up and down.

Enjoying the moment!

We then stopped at Spier. Spier is probably the most commercialized winery. It is very touristy and made for entertainment. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch, watching the kids ride horses, and tasting some wines. I enjoyed tasting some of their antique wines and just enjoying the day with the family.


Big Boy Alex!


Maddie is a true horse rider!



Mom and Dad Leenstra really enjoyed themselves and relaxed!

We had a great visit. It sure is a beautiful area.

I purchased a bottle of wine at each place we visited for a "souvenir" thinking it would be cheaper to buy direct. Low and behold I went to Pick n Pay (our local grocery store) after we returned and the same bottle of wine I purchased at Spier was cheaper. CRAZY
