When we asked our pal Evan which Stellenbosch wineries to visit, he mentioned Delaire for the view, and Thelema for the wines. Delaire’s website pics are not an exaggeration – the views are truly stunning.
Delaire was purchased a few years ago by an uber-rich diamond dealer, who has been upgrading the place with a luxury tasting room, restaurant, spa, and art gallery. As posing with important South African modern art has long been a dream of mine, this picture expresses emotions much deeper than the usual feelings of inebriation-on-the-cheap found on the wine tasting trail.
