Stellenbosch is a beautiful town in South Africa. It is home to a top notch college, Stellenbosch University and is a typical college town with great restaurants and shops. A major draw to the area is the wine country surrounding Stellenbosch, which is equivalent to Napa Valley back home in California.
My african trails family took a a tour of 4 wineries in the area. We were taught how to check the color, smell and properly taste the wine.

Checking the color of the wine |
My favorite winery was Fairview. The wines were fantastic and they even had a cheese sampling. The best was a wine called The Goatfather, a blend of three red wines, Yum!

I loved Stellenbosch so much that I looked into mosquito biology post docs at the university. Sadly, none were immediately available.
