48 hours in South Africa 💌🍷 wine tasting in franschoek!

[@BowieFann]

Cameron is quite knowledgeable about wine and what to look for. That makes for such a special trip!

[@SarahJane365]

I know absolutely nothing about wine and don't even drink it now but what an amazing place to stay. I was also having a bit of a stress head day with work and have almost ended my work day listening (and watching) you and it has just mellowed me out again, thank you 😊

[@xo_calibri]

Your South Africa trip looked amazing. Wine tasting, good food, and the pool with a view...what a dream

[@ellenalicemiller]

thank you!! ❤

Hi Ellen, I discovered your channel last weekend whilst looking for inspiration of a good 9-5 evening routine. I'd been struggling since the start of the year to find motivation and build good habits after work. I've found a new sense of excitement for my evenings thanks to your channel, I love your energy and philosophy around self-care, seasonal living and building good habits for ourselves. I now look forward to coming home to watch a video of yours before making dinner 😊 I feel like a completely different person to the last month, and you have genuinely been a really big part in it. Thank you so much from a new subscriber! ♥️

Hi Ellen, watching this vid while on the treadmill at Uni and it’s giving me so much positivity ! I think we went to the same Uni (Bath) watching your vids gives me motivation to be able to go on trips like this in my 20s and 30s. Love your vids 💕💕

[@ellenalicemiller]

Hey! ❤️ yes I went to bath too! I can picture the treadmills 😂 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos 🥰❤️

[@anthonyjconforti7924]

Wow, this looks like you had a super time💯. In a spectacular place.

[@sianmorgan6503]

Love your channel , I live in South Australia and today it’s 45 c , I was born in Wales, and miss the lovely cold weather very much ❤

[@alisondoughty2194]

Super fun vlog.Amazing pics.🎉😀🏝️

[@salipullar544]

Wow wonderful vlog.. I live in tropical Queensland in australia it’s so much like Africa more humid though❤ but our wineries are fabulous too… what a beautiful hotel.. and service and scenery thanks for taking us

[@ellenalicemiller]

So glad you enjoyed the vlog! Australia is so high on my bucket list - i would love love to visit one day ❤

[@sarahmcnulty4822]

Wow, we went for lunch at La Petite Ferme just 2 weeks ago when we went to Franschoek for a days wine tour. It's amazing! Staying in Franschhoek, for a few days, is definitely on our list for a future trip ❤

[@sarahmcnulty4822]

And, yes, the food and wine is amazing!

[@ellenalicemiller]

Ah so cool you went there too - we must've been there at the same time!! ❤

[@sarahmcnulty4822]

@ellenalicemiller yes, quite possibly. We got home on the 28th Jan. Still missing the sun! ☀️

[@lauraa1570]

Wow what a beautiful few days, how lucky to have a place to go visit family in. I was toying between SA and Canada as my next holiday, and think youve sold me! Would you reccomended visiting in Sep/Oct/Nov? Or January only? Id like to go this year but unsure if need to wait till early next year! Also appreciate any trip tips !!

[@philippawood5047]

Africa be crazy indeed, but damn was I shocked to NOT see those luggage trollies in Europe. Thanks for sharing some beautiful memories with us - one thing about South Africans is that they are genuinely such warm people, so sweet to see the hotel calling ahead to the restaurant like that, always wanting you to feel welcomed.❤

[@ellenalicemiller]

The loveliest loveliest people!! I already can't wait to go back 😂❤️

[@rishabhjralhan9943]

Flipping heck. such efforts to keep it clean. love it 🤣🤣

[@beckymorris814]

[@ellenalicemiller]

He'll be very pleased you think he looks like a pro!

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Lovely Ellen. Best friend ever 😊😅😅😅😅🎉😂😂❤❤

[@kellyvincent1207]

Hi Ellen, actually coming back to this video and not sure if you mentioned the name of the place you guys stayed at. Please may you drop the name if you don’t mind 😊❤

[@kimdaniels7150]

South Africa is truly spectacular. Slightly biased because im South African but oh well 😊

[@ellenalicemiller]

It really is something special! ❤

[@IsseyHawker]

Lovely vlog. Looking forward to your 2025 content. Can you please share what your nail colour is?

[@ellenalicemiller]

Thank you ❤️ i get BIAB in colour ‘bubble bath’ most of the time! 🥰

[@siba_grizzly]

New subbie. 🎉

[@ellenalicemiller]

hey!! welcome! ❤

[@jamescharlton924]

You are biased lol - get tasting English wines! They are immense!

[@m.g.6575]

One aspect that confounds me is the tendency for white populations to isolate themselves from non-white communities, even within countries predominantly inhabited by non-whites. It's perplexing to witness this desire to distance themselves, all the while projecting an image of culture and sophistication when history reveals a legacy marked by bloodshed, exploitation, and enslavement. For instance, shouldn't visiting South Africa be about African culture? How does wine tasting, for example, truly represent the rich cultural tapestry of South Africa? How?

[@kathrineparr6550]

Yes I find this bizarre, also. It feels disgusting considering the history of the Apartheid

[@ellenalicemiller]

What a bizarre comment to leave. I never said a few days of wine tasting represents the rich history of SA? What makes you think there was any ‘distancing’? This is a 30 minute vlog of an 8 day trip, I also don’t film the public without their permission if I can avoid it. South Africans are extremely passionate and proud of the wine they produce. My boyfriend’s family has been living in South Africa for decades, it’s his home country and he loves wine - is there somewhere else you’d have preferred we went to celebrate his 30th?
