My luxury weekend getaway to Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse
Friday, August 8th, 2008The Western Cape in South Africa offers superb luxury weekend getaways where time can be spent relaxing, taking in the sounds of nature and feasting a superb world class cuisine. This article chats about my weekend away to Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse.
Living in a country that is jam packed with things to do and see, I once again took advantage of my situation. One early afternoon I headed off towards the Swartland wine area in the Western Cape to visit an exclusive country lodge called Bartholomeus Klip. The Swartland wine area starts at Paardeberg near Wellington and heads north all the way to Piketberg with Malmesbury being the main business centre, an area of rolling wheat fields, blossoming vineyards and olive groves. With some 18 different cellars in the area, exciting award-winning wines have emerged over recent years and the area continues to produce top port-style wines.
