Activity Description

“Visit up to three wine estates along one of the main, the winelands routes. Wine estates can be suggested based on your personal preference, or our experienced tour guides will discuss options with you on the day.

See the beautiful university town of Stellenbosch, with a panoramic tour of the town’s oak-shaded streets that are lined with cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Cape Dutch architecture gives a sense of South Africa’s Dutch colonial history, as do the Village Museum’s period houses and gardens.

Drive via the scenic Helshoogte Mountain Pass towards Franschhoek. Here you will have a panoramic tour and free time. Optional visits in Franschhoek include either the Huguenot Memorial Museum and neighbouring monument, which honour the area’s French settlers, who arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries. Alternatively, you can visit Franschhoek Motor Museum, which displays vintage cars amid mountain farmlands. Last wine tasting will be at Rupert and Rothschild Estate (a prestigious joint venture between the late Dr Anton Rupert of South Africa and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild of France – both with deep interests in wine and owners of private vineyards in their respective countries). After the last wine tasting, head back to hotel. Service offered in English / Portuguese / French / Spanish. Please ensure to select choice of language under add-ons."
