On Saturday afternoon David and I went on a date... we went to Eagles Nest in Constantia to do some wine tasting. I have been wanting to go wine tasting with David for ages now.
Eagles nest is about half way down Constantia Nek situated close to Constantia Glen and Beau Constantia, two wine estates that I would also like to try wine tasting at. I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the wine estate was. It's small but really beautiful and perfect for a picnic on a sunny afternoon. You can't take your own picnic but they offer picnics and platters that can be ordered. We chose their Deli platter - so worth it and so yummy.
During the wine tasting we tasted six wines, my favourite two was the viognier and the merlot - also two of their most expensive bottles. I found their rose a bit bland - but that could have been because I had already tasted two white wines and the flavours were starting to blend together.
The best part of the experience was sharing it with David. We had so much fun tasting the wine, chitter chattering and just enjoying the afternoon together.
After the wine tasting we popped into a new farm stall that had opened just down the road called Chardonnay Deli and discovered that they sold amazing milkshakes,some yummy breads and cakes and some pretty flowers. It's definitely worth a second visit!
