点评:We visited the Boschendal Estate as part of our Wine Tram Tour. You are picked up at the tram stop and then drive through part of the estate for 10 minutes to the main area where the restaurants, farm shops and the tasting rooms are. It is a very scenic drive, with the estate backdropped against the mountains. Boschendal is one of the oldest vineyards in the area dating from the late 1600's, with the arrival of the Houguenots from France
At the tasting rooms we had a warm welcome, by very friendly and professional staff. Our tasting was one of the best we have had, the sommelier was very professional and informative about the wines. We tasted 6 in all some good whites, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc were excellent. Reds were really great Merlot, Shiraz and the Pinotage were enjoyed. The purchased some and they have got better.
We even had time for a quick lunch from their selection of platters, which was delicious.
We had a great couple of hours at the estate before heading back to the tram and though it was well worth the visit. However our next one will be an individual visit, as there is so much to see and do here.
翻译:我们参观了博斯香道尔酒庄(Boschendal Estate),这是我们葡萄酒电车之旅的一部分。我们会在电车站接您,然后驱车10分钟穿过酒庄的一部分,到达主要区域,那里有餐厅、农场商店和品酒室。一路风景优美,酒庄背靠群山。博斯香道尔是该地区最古老的葡萄园之一,其历史可以追溯到17世纪晚期,当时法国的胡格诺派(Houguenots)来到这里。
在品酒室,我们受到了热情友好的工作人员的欢迎。我们的品酒体验是我们经历过的最好的之一,侍酒师非常专业,并且对葡萄酒进行了详细的讲解。我们一共品尝了6款葡萄酒,其中有一些不错的白葡萄酒,霞多丽和长相思非常出色。红葡萄酒也非常棒,梅洛、设拉子和皮诺塔吉都很不错。我们买了一些,现在品质越来越好了。
我们甚至还有时间从他们精选的拼盘中享用一顿美味的快餐。
在返回缆车之前,我们在庄园里度过了几个小时,感觉非常值得一游。不过,我们下次会选择单独参观,因为这里有很多值得一看、值得一玩的地方。
