This shot was taken from high up on the Bloemendal wine farm in Durbanville. One of Cape Town's oldest municipalities and earliest farming areas, Durbanville was originally called Pampoenkraal (pumpkin corral); it was renamed "Durbanville" in 1836, after Sir Benjamin D’Urban, the then Governor of the Cape.

There are at least nine wine cellars around Durbanville, most of which are run by families who have been farming the land here for many generations. The area is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Shiraz.
