Vrede en Lust Winery
For the perfect wine tasting experience in a stunning
location visit Vrede en Lust. This is not just another
tourist attraction; the winery seeks to encourage smaller
groups of visitors, thus enhancing the intimacy of the
tasting experience. Located just 10 minutes drive from
the centre of Franshhoek, this winery offers a warm
welcome, good food and above all great wines. Do taste
their superb selection of rose wines and cheeses.
Vrede en Lust is a modern wine farm which has built
on its three century old foundation. It aspires to become
one of South Africa's best loved wineries, yet without
becoming a mass producer. The vineyard's philosophy
is based on respect for the environment and a total
commitment to quality. Their approach to winemaking
is simply to make the highest quality wines possible.
The team believes that red blends are capable of producing
wines of greater complexity, so they do not produce
single cultivar reds.

The Apartheid Museum
If you only have time to visit one attraction in Johannesburg,
make it the Apartheid Museum. This incredibly powerful
exhibition, thoughtfully and skillfully put together,
powerfully illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid
from 1948 to 1994, the racially prejudiced system that
blighted much of South Africa's progress. The museum
is a beacon of hope showing the world how the nation
is coming to terms with the past and working towards
a future that all South African's can call their own.
The museum, built on a seven hectare site, has been
assembled and organized by a multi-disciplinary team
of architects, curators, film-makers, historians and
designers. The exhibits, divided into 22 individual
areas, comprises of film footage, photographs, text
panels and artifacts illustrating the principal events
and also human stories. Entering the museum, you are
given a randomly printed ticket and have to explore
apartheid society by entering from either a door marked
"whites" or "non whites".
