We’ve had quite a few international visitors in the Haute Cabriére Tasting Room lately. They are all out to support their respective football teams but in between the matches a number of them have come out to the winelands to taste what we, as a wine producing country, have to offer.

We work really hard at our experience in Haute Cabriére Tasting Room and it’s great to hear back from people who enjoyed that experience. Recently the Haute Cabriére Tasting Room team received a lovely email from Steve (one of our international football supporting visitors). Steve has very kindly given us permission to post his complimentary email here, on our blog. Thanks Steve!

Steve’s email:

“You may remember our visit to you last Thursday. Because there were so many of us it was not possible to thank you personally but may I now do that electronically. I found you to be a thoroughly charming and very knowledgeable guide and when I return, sometime in the future with my wife (as I surely will for I was captivated by your beautiful region ), we shall make a point of visiting Haute Cabriére and maybe cracking a bottle or two.”

If you’re in Cape Town this week, for the very exciting Spain vs Portugal game on Tuesday, why not take some time out and join us in the Franschhoek winelands?

We’ve noticed a significant increase in the number of cyclists on the road in the last week. It must be all those people getting in some last minute 2010 Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour training. It’s going to be a very busy weekend in Cape Town and the surrounding winelands.

If you’re cycling the Argus, or loyally supporting someone who is cycling the Argus, you should pop out to Franschhoek and join us at Haute Cabriere for some wine tasting or a spot of lunch or dinner.

Good luck cyclists (and supporters)! We’ll be thinking of you, and your time in the saddle while we sip on some Belle Rose. It’s a tough life but someone has to do it.

Oh and if you see Lance (Armstrong) please remind him that we have Pierre Jourdan with his name on it.
