California is home to many renowned wine regions, some well-equipped to handle tourists, others less so. For some regions it’s a question of terrain, for others location, but that shouldn’t keep intrepid travelers from making an extra effort to visit these regions—particularly when they produce worl …
“Een keer per jaar moet jy na ’n plek gaan waar jy nog nie vantevore was nie.” – Dalai Lama. Met hierdie lewensfilosofie in gedagte het ek nie net dekades gelede die wêreld aangepak nie, maar meer as ’n dekade gelede ook die wynproduserende wêreld. My wynreis van ontdekking het in Stellenbosch, die …
The eighth season of Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope has given me the opportunity to discover some destinations I’ve never visited and new sides to places I’ve known, writes the author. This season’s fifteen new PBS episodes (grand total 106 now) span the globe from Asia to Europe and have offered me t …
Wine, like food and most other good things in life, should not be hurried, whether you’re making it or whether you’re just enjoying it. Time is nobody’s friend, especially in today’s rat race society of instant this and instant that, but when one visits the winelands, one should take time to not onl …
Suid-Afrika, en die Wes-Kaap in die besonder, het soveel te verken, ervaar en geniet dat ons jare gelede besluit het om so ver moontlik nooit na dieselfde plek terug te keer nie. Nodeloos om te sê, daar is egter sekere gebiede waar mens net eenvoudig nie kan wegbly nie. Die Robertson-wynvallei is ee …
Let’s take a trip back in time. Close your eyes and imagine yourself an English explorer, a shipmate of Sir Walter Raleigh’s, writes Kevin Chandler. You’ve just braved the Atlantic crossing and are rowing to shore towards a strange island on a forbidding coast. Yet immediately on landing, you see a …
Van basiese, gerieflike kuier tot weelderige bederf, dis wat die Kaapse wynlande bied. Verblyf, eet en aktiwiteite het vandag ’n integrale deel geword van die wyntoerisme-ervaring en is net so belangrik soos die nektar van die gode wat mens op wynplase en by wynkelders geniet. In ons voortgesette so …
Hoeveel keer het jy al die R62 tussen Worcester en Robertson aangepak en verby die afdraai na die Nuy-vallei gery sonder om twee keer te dink? Dis soms beter om nie te weet wat jy nie weet nie, né. Maar dit is jou verlies. Ons – dis nou ek, vroulief en haar neef en sy vrou uit Edinburgh in Skotland …
We often write about travel destinations, particularly those that are wine related, says Gregory Dal Piaz. Today, I present you with some thoughts on the subject and some of the likely destinations that will enchant us all. These are some of the top eno-tourism destinations of the world.
Not a month goes by without us being reminded of the incredible wealth and diversity of the Cape winelands’ tourism offerings. And when one travels abroad to wine producing countries like France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Croatia, one cannot but compare, and every time South Africa comes up tops.
En daar kuier ons toe verlede jaar ’n Australiese paartjie raak. In Dubrovnik, Kroasië, van alle plekke. In ’n eetplekkie in die ou, geskiedkundige, ommuurde stad. Rondom kos en wyn. Hulle hoor hoe gooi ons die boeretaal en vra onmiddellik of ons uit Suid-Afrika kom en of ons Afrikaans praat. Ons sê …
Die Tuinroete is byna soos ’n skaamtelose meisie wat haar bates en juwele vir almal ten toon stel. Daarteenoor is die Weskus-Namakwaland ’n taamlike kuis aster wat eintlik net een keer ’n jaar onbeskaamd haar bates wys en die res van die tyd jou uitnooi tot ’n heerlike voorspel waartydens sy jou byn …
Die Kaapse wynlande hoef beslis nie terug te staan as dit kom by wyntoerisme-aanbiedings nie. Om die waarheid te sê, daar is bittermin wynstreke enige plek ter wêreld (indien enige) wat die Kaapse wynlande kan nadoen wat toerisme-attraksies betref. En dis nie net die prag en praal van al die aanbied …
A few years back I did the Wellington Wine Walk over three days. What a super experience! The guests stayed on different wine estates, and I vividly remember how full of praise for the Bovlei Vallei Retreat a group of hikers were when we got together to tackle the next leg of our wine walk. They lit …
Spain is an enchanted destination for all types of travelers, writes Craig Donofrio. There are castles from the Middle Ages, celebrated works of contemporary architecture, rustic tapas and Michelin-rated restaurants. There is world-class surfing, skiing in the Sierra Nevada, cycling for all skill le …
Net meer as vier dekades gelede was wyntoerisme in Suid-Afrika nog ’n droom. Toe kry ons ons eerste wynroete en kon ons vir die eerste keer op wynplase in proelokale gaan wyn proe en koop. Nie lank daarna nie het eet- en blyplekke op wynplase hul welkome koppe begin uitsteek.
I was one of eight lucky wine writers chosen to explore three of Murcia, Spain’s incredibly unique Denomination of Origins (DOs); Yecla, Jumilla and Bullas, writes Julia Crowley. More impressive than I could have ever imagined, this area has outstanding wine, unmatched beauty in both the city and r …
