For wine lovers, no trip to South Africa would be complete without a visit to the rolling vineyards of the Cape and far more importantly, the chance to enjoy some of the very best local wines.
A superb day dedicated to celebrating the glorious grape, the exceptional winelands region, and the heavenly scenery such as the breathtaking views from the historical Taal Monument near Paarl. The area is rich with history, and you can’t help but feel it as you move through the region to experience a wine cellar tour, where you’ll learn all about the process of winemaking, from grape to goblet.
Visit the exquisite little town of Franschhoek, pass by the impressive Huguenot Monument, and in a town with a reputation for gourmet fare, where else could you choose to enjoy lunch (own expense). Wind your way to the heady heights of the Helshoogte Mountain Pass to meet the charming university town of Stellenbosch on the other side. You will have ample time to stroll through this little town, absorbing the quaintness, and sneaking into the odd shop or two!
A trip to the winelands isn’t complete without a wine tasting, so be ready for two at different wine estates. And of course, you’ll be able to purchase your favourite wine to take back home!
