I'm hoping to be in Cape Town in early March, all being well, if my contract at <cough> you know who gets renewed again.

I left <cough> mid-November, someone new!

Good luck with the <cough> renewal.

Xmas Boom...

Where are you staying in Franschhoek? Will you have a car?

Suggestions:
Rickety Bridge
Noble Hill
Babylonstoren (have lunch here, and go on a walk though the gardens)
Glen Carlou

Haven't stayed at Mont Rochelle since Virgin took it over, but it used to do a very nice picnic in the vineyard.
Boekenhoutskloof has never been open when we've been there, but would like to go.
Haut Cabriere is worth a tasting
Lynx is on our list for the next trip, ran out of time last year.

Edit, just clicked on your link to La Bri. I hope you like wine tasting!
