There is a two page spread in our guide book about this estate and the manor house there so we make it our destination for the day.
But its a damping day and e take advantage of the shuttle between one end of the estate and the other. White hairs do have advantages.
There are lovely restos, picnic sites under the trees. We forego the tasting to enjoy glasses of Sauvignon and Chenin Blancs over the beautiful herb garden, accompanied by a nibble board of prosciutto, carrot humus, seed crackers and picked figs and onions. We buy the CB for $13.
The rose garden is still beautiful as are the major house furnishings. Lunches are $50+ and picnics for 2 are $57. You need to be really hungry to take on these lunches.
Later we decide we can do another winery so off to Spier, another multi-facet destination. Restos, gardens, artwork, musical interactive stones, a craft market. NO tasting here but we buy their special CB for $20 to taste later as Ted knows it is on the best 10 list.
That evening we get more clothes on to return to the lovely Under Oaks Farm for pizza and beer. It’s too cool to eat outdoors and the resto is packed solid this night. Home at 8:30 we read and are in bed early again Must be the alcohol level.
