The Winelands
... was a rose garden near the end that stopped you in your tracks with their fragrance. We were all speechless and never wanted to leave, as we assumed some Fairy Godmother was surly going to appear.

My favourite was the cheapest white or the expensive red so I decided to wait and buy at the next winery. Next stop, my favourite, was Fairview.
