Besides endless beaches and the surrounding mountains, I grew up in the southern suburbs amidst the most scenic Winelands. Today, my Yoga School is located there and even though I live along the Atlantic Seaboard currently, I get to go to Constantia often. Going back to the suburbs where I had grown up, is a lovely experience. The lifestyle is so much slower and quieter. Beautiful childhood memories always flood my mind whenever I am there.
One of my favourite wine farms is Groot Constantia. They have two of the loveliest restaurants to choose from, each having the vines in view. A stunning setting to say the least. One of my favourite things to do there is the chocolate and wine pairing that they often offer. I have done this with all of my friends and everyone whom I’ve ever taken, has loved it. Their dessert wine is the best that I’ve ever tasted. If you happen to go to Groot Constantia, try the Alexandria Muskat - you’ll thank me later, I promise.
One of the best hiking trails is also in the surroundings. It is called Constantia Nek and is a beautiful route around Table Mountain. The botanical gardens and lush forests are also in the vicinity. This is a scenic, green and any outdoorsy-person's paradise!
