South Africa Wine Country with a Difference

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

South Africa wine countrySouth Africa wine country is like no other! They have made an art form of displaying their wares to the market and taking a tour of the wine route is a definite MUST on your South Africa travel itinerary, even if you don’t like wine.

Why? Because there is something for everyone from amazing historical homesteads to patting a cheetah, breathtaking scenery to sampling olives. And these are just a few of the activities you can find out in the wonderful winelands of South Africa.

If you are particularly interested in wines, as I am, why not take a look at this blog, WineCountry? I have picked out this entry all about the Pinotage grape because like the author, I think the red pinotage is a greatly under rated wine, but then I am biased towards all things South African, especially their wines!

Can’t you just see yourself under those wide, blue, warm African skies chilled glass in hand soaking up the peace and tranquility? Go on I dare you – come and get your free personalised South Africa travel itinerary and add the wine route to your vacation plans …

South Africa Travels with Castle

Monday, May 26th, 2008

South Africa travels with Castle Beer! It sums up their character. Just take a look at this ad and see what I mean. I agree with I Luv South Africa … about his country. See beyond the inadequacies of the government and go visit the people and the country. It truly is one of great beauty and warmth and deserves to have its time in the sun.
