Beau Constantia

Forget the dimly lit cellar tours and the stacks of French oak barrels. Beau Constantia is unlike the other wine estates I've visited in in Constantia, South Africa's oldest wine valley. The modern cement-and-glass tasting room at this boutique wine farm created an ambiance that felt more like visiting a friend's posh home than a wine estate. My favorite taste was their rosé, which was light and not overly sweet. I'd visit again, especially now that I know they have a spa downstairs.
