It’s not long before we see our first vineyards, and in true Team South Africa fashion, we make a U-turn, find a reasonable place to park the car, and off we go to explore. We’re unsure of what the grapes are, but what we did manage to figure out is that the vineyard is still on the Swiss side of the border (even though we have already entered the French territory via road), leading us to believe that it is probably a red hybrid of some sort.

  1. Fun South African Fact: South Africa is known as the “Rainbow Nation” thanks to its mix of cultures across the country. The status of being a cultural “melting pot” is evident in the fact that South Africa has a whopping 11 official languages: English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, IsiNdebele, Sesotho, Northern Sotho, Setswana, SiSwati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga. Most South Africans speak more than one national language. IsiZulu is the most common first language and isiXhosa is second. Fun fact – did you know the people of Wakanda speak isiXhosa in Marvel’s Black Panther movie?
