This morning, your guide will collect you from your hotel for a private-guided full day of wine tasting and exploring the beautiful Cape Winelands.
You'll enjoy a magical scenic journey through this beautiful mountainous region as we explore its history, the wine, and the architecture. The region is most famous for its red wine – there is some great white wine found on the higher slopes of the mountains.
One recommendation for the day would be to concentrate on the Stellenbosch wine region and select two wineries in this region based on your wine tastes. Be sure to let us know what types of wines you enjoy so that we can match your tastes to our wine estates (as well as any other interests – foodies, into gardens, art….). The Stellenbosch region boasts incredible red blends. The most common varietals in this region are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinotage (the local South African red varietal), Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc.
During the tour, we will also explore Stellenbosch, the second–oldest town in the country. It boasts an excellent combination of Dutch and English colonial architecture, oak-lined streets, white buildings, and a great vibe as a university town.
Lunch is usually planned in this region, the country's foodie haven. It boasts many of our top restaurants, so a gourmet fine-dining lunch is highly recommended. For wine fanatics, let us know, and we will find something quicker and lighter so you can experience more wineries!
After lunch, we recommend either a visit to Paarl or Franschhoek for another wine tasting, a walk through the town of Franschhoek, a walk in an organic garden, or even an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate tasting.
