We depart the city to the Winelands region of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschoek for a leisurely exploration of these historic Wine Route towns.
Wine estates visited will vary according to client preferences, but the tour includes the region's major wine producing areas. The tastings include high quality (and often award winning) red and whites wines.
Lunch (for your own account) will be at one of the spectacular restaurants in the area where the chefs regularly receive awards for their outstanding cuisine.
There are many natural and historic heritage places in this area and your guide will take you past many sights like the Afrikaans Taal Monument amongst others. The majestic scenery in the area is unparalleled so even if you don’t drink wine, the countryside and the history make it well worth the visit.
Stellenbosch, with its tree lined streets, historical architecture, alfresco cafes and good shopping is South Africa’s second oldest town, while Franschoek is a food lovers delight and Paarl has the historical Taal monument to boast along with spectacular scenery.
