Cape Winelands Tour

The Western Cape of South Africa is home to more than 500 wineries, and today we will visit a few of our favourites in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, or Paarl.  We typically visit three wineries, and we like to consult with our clients on the day to tailor the stops to their tastes. Some of our favourites are:

• Babylonstoren, at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain in the Franschhoek wine valley, with a fruit and vegetable garden of amazing beauty and diversity
• Boschendal, with its garden-to-table restaurant, historic manor buildings, garden picnics, and exceptional food & wine
• Waterford Estate, a classic in the beautiful Blaauwklippen Valley, offering a chocolate and wine pairing
• Muratie Wine Estate, a Stellenbosch farm dating back to 1685, one of the oldest estates in South Africa (with the cobwebs to prove it)
• Jordan, located just outside Stellenbosch with panoramic views over False Bay and Table Mountain
• Avondale, a certified organic farm that combines natural farming methods with 21st Century science, technology and knowledge  to enhance sustainability
• Oldenburg, an intimate tasting experience from a tasting room where every table has spectacular views of the farm
