  • Experiencing South African Wine
    May 16 2021

    If you love wine, Cape Town, South Africa is a great place to be! But with over 460 wine farms in the Western Cape alone, knowing where to go and how to avoid the typical tourist experience can be a challenge.

    In this episode, Jack and Niki share the experience they cultivated in over five-and-a-half months living in Cape Town and visiting dozens of wine farms, from the more commercially successful to those that some South Africans don't even know about.

    Editorial Note: We misspoke about two important details in the podcast.  

    First, the famous wine at Groot Constantia historically called "Constantia Wyn" is now called "Grand Constance."  The competitive version produced by Klein Constantia is called "Vin de Constance."

    Second, the Rothschild family originated in Germany, not France.
