Gordons Bay, was our Cape home,on the far side of the bay, under the cliff for sevral weeks in January and February 2016  I can see Waterkloof winery from the balcony of our apartment and from here you can see Godons Bay   Peter in Waterkloof's biodynamic vineyards Waterkloof use horse power: here taking harvested grapes to the winery.  Waterkloof are trying out the new concrete 'eggs' for fermenting wines. Vintage festival at Beaumont Winery Inside Beaumont winery Lunch on the veranda at Neethlingshof  winery with a glass of Pinotage. From here we can see hoppers of newly harvested grapes being towed in by tractor which backs them into the  destalker at the winery door.  Beyerskloof is another must, for the obvious reason!!
