Wine Tasting in Plettenberg Bay.

Posted by Kim on Thu August 18, 2022 in Wines .

Love wine? So did the Greeks. So much so, they had their own god who presided over wine; Dionysus. If he were in South Africa, he would certainly set up shop in Plettenberg Bay. The earliest evidence of Greek wine dated as far back as 6,500 years ago, where wine was produced on a household or communal basis. Their trade in wine became extensive across the Mediterranean, and became highly prestigious in Italy under the Roman Empire.

Here are the 5 top places worthy of Dionysus:

Bitou Vineyards

This newly established vineyard lies between Kurland and Plettenberg Bay. The Bitou Tasting Room will be coming soon, but wine lovers are able to order Sauvignon Blancs and Méthode Cap Classique online.

 

 

Bramon Wine Estate

Situated within the mountainous area known as The Crags, it was the first estate to pioneer vineyards within the Plettenberg Bay area. Winning national and international awards for their Méthode Cap Classique and still wines, the Bramon Wine Estate is a place not to miss!

Luka Vineyards
