  • I Love Haut Espoir 4.5 Haut Espoir is a boutique wine farm in the corner of Franschhoek, South Africa. The farm is completely family driven, with mom, dad, kids and extended family all having a hand in the day to day operations of the farm. The High Hope (literal translation of the name Haut Espoir) at the farm is to make the absolute best wines on offer. As such, we use only the best materials from planting to maintenance of the vineyards, from harvest times to barrels and yeasts. Every step is given extra time, and the word “rush” is the only word you will probably never hear on the farm. Our brilliant winemaker, Nikey, will not take a single step he is not 100% happy with, and as a result, our vintage list is generally a few years older than what is the norm for South African wine. Patience and belief are two words that best describe the way we go about getting our wines to market, all around the world, but our hearts remain here, in the French corner, Franschoek. Indeed, even those of us not directly related but working at the farm feel like family to the Armstrong clan here in the valley. Haut Espoir is as famous for its conservation efforts as it is for it’s wines. From our BWI accreditation and efforts to restore the farm, to our Fynbos Friday posts to hopefully educate the public, our dreams are for sustainable farming and development not only on our farm, but the entire wine industry. Please have a look around our web presence and discover what the farm is about, where you can find our wines and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions for anybody at the farm, no matter how arbitrary the question may sound to you. It’s important to us. ...more

  • I Love Kleinhoekkloof 5 AS YET NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Kleinhoekkloof….. compact parcels of pristine vineyards scattered on various choice sites in this small, picturesque valley high up in the Langeberg. Ancient soils of weathered schists, shales and phylite make up a garden of wine in the mountains, guarded by a rock eye and a river runs through it! A natural place to produce bright, structured, concentrated wines with unique character and good ageing potential. ...more

  • I Love Silvermine 5 A beautiful dam at the top of Table Mountain. Great for open water swimming. There are braai facilities all around the dam. ...more

  • I Love Giovanni’s 4.67 For a quality slice of authentic Italian deli life, look no further than Green Point institution, Giovanni’s. Popular with locals and visitors alike, and for good reason – the selection of fine locally sourced and imported deli foods, not to mention the outstanding Italian coffee, will have you unsuccessfully restraining yourself from overindulging. Always busy, the ambience is forever friendly and welcoming. ...more

  • I Love Rusticus Vintage Cellar 4.5 'Visitors to the cellar can literally ‘step back in time’ when enjoying a cellar tour at Rusticus, seated amongst antique wine making equipment and machinery. This quaint cellar is also available for functions with winemaker Stephan Busch preparing delicious gourmet meals for groups of 10 or more people.' ~Taken from www.rusticus.co.za ...more

  • I Love Starlings Coffee Shop 3.83 Starlings is on the button when it comes to a satisfying cafe experience. Their coffee is made to perfection and the food is tasty and well presented - different to the run of the mill offerings from franchises. The quiches are one of their most popular dishes, baked fresh daily and served with a side salad. The service is attentive and friendly but not intrusive. Great ambience! ...more
