Erongo Mountain Winery
Driving the dusty plains of Damaraland, one of the last things you'd expect to find is a winery, but this beautiful spot is one of Namibia's few wine estates. The glass-fronted restaurant and tasting room lead out onto a large veranda that overlooks the small vineyard. Red grapes are grown on-site, but the white grapes are bought from South Africa---perhaps unsurprisingly, the white varietals are better than the reds. They also produce a fairly smooth whisky made from millet, barley, and maize. The restaurant serves a selection of mostly meaty dishes for lunch; bookings are advised. It's off the beaten track and the approach road is best tackled in a 4x4.
