On a beautiful sunny day in Durbanville, the Durbanville wine valley has my name written all over it, and one wine farm in particular always comes to mind. That's Diemersdal Wine Estate.
The fact that I live so close to it makes it even more attractive, but it's the beauty of their estate that draws me to it. My sister and I decided to spontaneously stop by yesterday for a quick wine tasting. It ended up with us purchasing a bottle of wine and a cheese platter and lingering for nearly 2 hours.
Their Pinotage is off the charts. At only R95 a bottle from the tasting room, you can enjoy it right there under the orchards, overlooking the valley and the nearby dam. It's really beautiful.
We ordered the tasting room Dalewood Cheese Platter for R90, along with some Biltong for R30, and had ourselves a very affordable and complete sensory experience.
Who needs to go sit in a bar or a restaurant just to have some wine when you can enjoy the same on a beautiful wine estate at a fraction of the price?
Diemersdal Wine Estate is located on Koeberg Road, as you head out of Durbanville. It's mere 2km from the centre of town, and they have a 5 star restaurant there too for more sophisticated dining.
