The know… Spoiled. But still: fingers crossed for another holiday to South Africa in 2026. Don't miss it! It's been a regular family affair for the past few years, and although we've had so many fantastic trips this past year, few (if any) can compare to Cape Town (and its surroundings). Meanwhile, our Ies (team Barts Boekje) did some preliminary research and visited La Roche Estate in Franschhoek. A wine paradise and estate known for years as a wedding venue among the grapevines, it's also a working farm. What many people don't know: you don't have to say "I do" to stay overnight here. As a guest, you'll stay in luxurious accommodations with all the trimmings. Throw together a barbecue (the kitchen is truly beautifully equipped), light the hot tub while you're at it, breakfast delivered to your door, and the most comfortable beds. With only a few suites, and a very luxurious "Manor House" for larger groups, it feels like you have the vineyard all to yourself. The newest addition to the estate: David's Bistro. It offers its own menu, wine tastings, and picnics, even if you're not staying overnight. Although, of course, this is where you'd most like to wake up... @larocheestate
