La Motte is one of the first wine estates in the Franschhoek valley to be filmed at street level so that users of Google Maps can navigate around the estate seeing it exactly as it is. The imagery captured yesterday by Leo Froneman (in the photo above with me, next to the car / equipment used to do the filming) includes the new restaurant and museum complex, the historic manor house and cellar, the vineyards and just about everything else that an Internet visitor to the estate would want to see. I understand the street view of La Motte will be live on Google within three to six months.
