1 Best Sight in The Northern Cape, South Africa

Bezalel Estate Cellars

Stop here if you are a fan of cognac and liqueurs or you want to sample some of the region's lesser-known wines. From his pot still, Tinus Bezuidenhout produces and sells really good brandies and high-quality liqueurs. It's a family business, so either Tinus or his son, Martiens, will likely be pouring generous tastings, something all except the designated driver will appreciate. There is also a walk-through of the distillery and maturation cellar, and a restaurant, Le Marché, serving Kalahari biltong and avocado salad, Kalahari venison pie, and beef-and-brandy burgers. It also sells a wonderful range of deli products, from Kalahari salt and barbecue sauce to wild marula jam produced on the farm. Tinus knows everyone in the area, so think of him as a tourism resource, too.
