"A conservationist’s paradise, the vast Vergelegen Estate in Somerset West, encircled by rugged mountains, is much more than a wine farm. You’ll spot nguni cattle grazing in pastures, rare protected fynbos amid the vineyards, and acres of carefully laid-out gardens dotted with mature trees. The centerpiece of the tasting center is a colossal table hewn from indigenous yellowwood, made by local designer Pierre Cronje, and the terrace overlooks a herb garden." - Jane Broughton
