This might be the happiest place in South Africa.
The best description I heard describing the town was from the tourism manager Mareletta: "What muscadel is in a bottle is a summary of what Montagu people are about. You see the bottle but once you open it that absolute sweetness makes it different to anything else".
I tried to capture the feeling of this town in the video. What do you think?
Great interviews and intro! Is the car available to hire? That would make for a great roadtrip!
They do tours to the wine farms in it, which is pretty cool. There is a company in Cape, Town City where you can hire classics to go touring.
This video gave me all sorts of feelings and transported me there, love it!
I grew up in Montagu! So special to see it finally getting the travel limelight it deserves. It is a really special small town in South Africa. :)
We love it. You're so lucky to have grown up there.
Thanks for watching.

I thought it was quite interesting.
and lovely to see Mareletta in the video
