What a way to spend a leisurely Saturday afternoon, surrounded by good friends, good conversation and of course, good food as we were about to be indulged for High Tea.
Being in the countryside always forces one to change gears, and being in the lounge of The Grand Roche Hotel in Paarl was certainly no different. By default everyone was more relaxed, more accommodating and just ready to soak up what was on offer….or maybe it was just the welcoming bubbly we received on arrival that had that effect. The Villiera Starlight Brut NV, was on offer and was most certainly enjoyed by all, crisp and delicate made with 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinotage grapes.
We had a choice of enjoying our Tea outside on the terrace or inside the comfortable lounge area, because it was scorching hot,we decided on enjoying our tea in the lounge area relaxing on the couches.
