Guess the SANPark quiz (RV)

[Dream Weaver]

It is not Table Mountain NP unfortunately.

[FinMari]

In which SANPark can you find the site of the wine cellar that was the biggest in the country in 1920?

Am I correct You are not telling about winery and it's wine cellar ?

[Chacma]

No, I think the biggest wine cellar in 1920 was in Paarl, the birthplace of my grandfather. The KWV cellars there are in the Guiness Book of Records as the world’s biggest cellars. But there is no National Park in Paarl

[Dream Weaver]

It is just a wine cellar where the Governer General stored his vast quantity of wine.

[Chacma]

Oh OK so I found this on “Interesting Facts” on the visitors’ map for West Coast NP:
“In 1920, Geelbek had the largest wine cellar in the country. This was not due to wine production, but because the Governor General (Henry de Villiers Steytler) used Geelbek to store his vast quantities of wine.”

[FinMari]

Well found Chacma

Excellent question Dream Weaver
