I’m in as well. I would prefer a Saturday morning.
As a start, I’d like to suggest two possible options. Hopefully not too far out of Cape Town for those on that side.
Avontuur wine estate, because I like their wines and they have a nice outdoor area where you can sit while doing a wine tasting, and then they have the usual side platter with some stuff that goes with the wine.
Mont Marie, if you’re keen for a late breakfast kind of thing. This is on the Blauwklippen road outside Stellenbosch.
Let me know if this is works, or if you want to look at something a bit less formal
Me breakfasting at a wine farm and she is not invited … the aftermath will get expensive.
And the darker side … plan z … she can meet some of you (my forum connections) in the dark event that I’ve checked out, or became incapacitated, that she knows where to ask for help.
I would love to but FAR away… Just a request maybe… no discussion allowed on the “true cost” of the solar gadgets, etc we NEED (@TTT vs WANTs) for our systems… your partners are going to Freak Out!
Hi Richard, that feels a bit formal imo. To be honest I dont know what they offer, but when i hear convention centre i freeze up, feels like a meeting and someone needs to talk. I cant even write properly, whos going to do the talking?
Lets see what is available before we decide, I would like an informal setting, just sit and chat. Anyone?
I think Richard was joking. But the way this forum is going, it might be like that annual Stellenbosch art event now simply called “Kamers” (formerly Kamers vol geskenke). Started out small, now it is a full commercial endeavour!
So 6 definites and 1 maybe so far.
Given the preference for a wine farm, I’m going to propose Avontuur then, unless another suggestion is offered. Date to be confirmed once Jaco has his ducks in a row…
Speaking of ducks, there’s also Vergenoegd, which is a bit closer to the city. Really nice, but I haven’t been there in a long time and cannot remember exactly what it is like
I would definitely want to join! My wife and kids are likely to tag along on a Saturday morning. As long as we don’t have a birthday party (there seems to be one almost every weekend) …
We’re not too fussed about the location. Rather have it dictated by how many people will be coming, and what we’ll be doing. We live very close to @TheTerribleTriplet, but my wife is easily sold on a Stellenbosch/Somerset/Franschhoek trip! Close to @plonkster’s, Vergelegen is a nice spot with lots of space and the Stables restaurant is always great.
