When you are in Stellenbosch, your first thought is wine. You are surrounded by so many lovely wine fields. But you are also surrounded by a wonderful mountain skyline. So last week I have visited Johannesdal1207 near Stellenbosch. Strangely Johannesdal is not producing wine or any other farm products. But this is a real wedding location. And a very luxury one, but without being cold. Decorated with some lovely art stuff as well historic elements. No doubt about styling as the owners are interior designers, who created a warm feeling at home...
