Yesterday it was too windy for flying so we went wine tasting around Stellenbosch instead. Nice!
We started at Kanonkop, famous for their reds. Although they didn't impress much on us, but you never know until you try. Next stop was Simonsig where they are producing some good sparkling wines. Then we had a lovely lunch at the new deli at Tokara, followed by a tasting. Their Sauvignon Blanc is still good. Of course we couldn't miss Thelema just next doors, and it was as good as always. We had a fika in Franschoek and then stopped at a last vineyard, Vrede & Lust, on the way home. They had a pleasant rosé.

Today is the first day of the paragliding competition in Porterville. We will see if we can fly, right now the wind blows the wrong direction but it is forecasted to change. Lots of people araound, in fact 120 pilots from all over the world, including California, India, La Reunion and Finland to name just a few countries. Hopefully it will be lots of fun.
