And then of course, there’s the Polo, the sport of kings with its galloping horses, masterful riders and the thwack of mallet hitting ball as they compete for the cup, making it a truly, one-of-a-kind and unmissable summer event in a spectacular setting surrounded by the majestic Paarl and Franschhoek Mountains
