2 Best Sights in The Garden Route and the Little Karoo, South Africa

On a real working farm, this shop sells wines from 25 cellars and has an excellent selection of pot-still brandies, dessert wines, and dry wines. They also make their own superb range of fortified wines and an inexpensive blend of white wines like Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Colombard. The shop also stocks local olive oils from 10 local suppliers, fruit preserves, honey, and cookies, all sourced from local farmers and bakers. In season, they operate a small outdoor restaurant focusing on old-fashioned home cooking.

This estate is named after the red hills that dominate the landscape and whose soil creates the perfect environment for growing grapes with a high sugar content. So it's not surprising that this winery specializes in dessert wines and makes a fine brandy. There is a lovely restored 19th-century kitchen and an easy hiking trail that stretches into the hills.
