ITINERARY
- The Cape Winelands, in particular, Stellebosch is home to over 200 award-winning wine estates. Therefore, since this is a private customizable tour, we allow travelers to choose their own wine estates for tasting or they can follow our carefully selected itinerary. A typical itinerary would be as follows: Begin your day with a pickup from your Cape Town accommodations. Travel along the N2 to your first winery, De Morgenzon.
- Arriving at DeMorgenzon, you will taste 3 different delectable wines. DeMorgenzon is renowned for playing classical music to their vines, believing that this enhances the growth of the vines. It is therefore little wonder why DeMorgenzon won an award for producing some of the best Chardonnay in the world.
- Afterward, take a historical tour of Stellenbosch, which is the second oldest town in South Africa. Stellenbosch is also home to Stellenbosch University which houses more than 27000 students each year.
- Next, head to the Marianne winery where you will enjoy a wine pairing of 6 wines with Biltong, dried meat similar to beef jerky. Marianne believes that biltong enhances their wine's flavors. Marianne's Floreal wine was hand-picked by Chef Gordon Ramsay for Nelson Mandela's 91st Birthday.
- We travel to Fairview Wine and Cheese estate and enjoy wine and cheese tasting. Guests may also purchase Fairview cheeses from the deli.
- Drive through the prison that held Nelson Mandela, formerly known as Victor Verster. The guide will stop so that you may take photos in this legendary area next to the monument of Nelson Mandela.
- Take a drive through the town of Franschhoek (French Corner) which is known as the food and wine capital of South Africa. This is where you will find some of the finest restaurants and wine estates with a French influence.
- The tour culminates with Delaire Graff wine estate for wine tasting. The Delaire Graff is known as the Jewel of the Cape Winelands and you will soon see why from the moment you enter onto the estate. The Delaire Graff is truly one of the most exquisite wine estates in South Africa.
- At the end of our tour, we return to Cape Town for drop off at your accommodation.
