Inspired by a family trip to visit our son, who was working in South Africa, a few years back… we had the opportunity to stay at Dieu Donne Vineyard, where the vintner opened his home to us. Strolling the vineyard, sampling grapes, sipping wine, waking up to incredible views was all marvelous. Situated at the base of the Franschoek mountains, cool night air and warm sunny days created conditions for great wine as well as the need for an extra layer!
Vineyard Breeze Vest features winding vines and a center cable and reminds me of our adventures together.
