Wine tasting at Uva Mira

October 28, 2011 filed under food | 5 Comments

You know how I love wine right?  Well, this wine tasting experience on Sunday after the breakfast at Tokara was actually the first time I’d done it! Yip, that’s right!! Whenever we go to the Cape, we’re alway is a hurry and kids and wine farms don’t exactly go (or so I thought, this trip taught me otherwise).

Anyway, on our way back down the hill to Somerset West, we climbed up another hill to get to Uva Mira.

I loved it!! My mom and I did all the tasting, while Kathy chatted with friends that she bumped into there, and Ian had a nap on the couch :)

What a gorgeous place!! It has the most amazing view, and whole vibe is just incredible!

We  did the full tasting and because it was the Helderberg Wine Festival over the weekend, it only cost R20!.  After trying the cellar selection and the vineyard selections, I bought 3 bottles.  I bought 2 bottles of the Vineyard Syrah and 1 bottle of the cellar Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot.  I almost bought some of the Chardonnay, because it was that good, but I know that I never drink white wine at home, so it would be a waste.

    I absolutely love the Cape! My first wine tasting experience was when I was pregnant with Ethan but I made up for that fact when we went back a few years later and the kids were spending the weekend with my mom. Such fun :)

    Gosh I thought you’d done it before!! Before having the boys! Parents never stop teaching their children .. come with us .. we’ll really get you started :) !!! We’ve done many estates but there’s so many more to do!!
    Uva Mira is particularly lovely because of the panoramic view! – we should have sat outside to enjoy it!
