Itinerary

Departure: Cape Town City Centre

Your excursion begins with a scenic drive into the Cape Winelands, leading to Stellenbosch, one of the oldest and most picturesque towns in South Africa. Known as part of the "longest wine route in the world," this region stretches from the legendary Groot Constantia Estate near Cape Town through to the semi-arid landscapes of the Little Karoo.

Upon arrival, enjoy a short orientation tour of Stellenbosch, where oak-lined streets and heritage buildings reflect centuries of history. The first stop is a renowned wine estate for a cellar tour and a curated tasting paired with artisanal cheese.

Next, we visit a second estate for another tasting experience, where you can also purchase your favorite vintages directly from the farm’s shop.

The tour concludes with a relaxed return to Cape Town — midday (around 13:00) for the morning option or early evening (around 18:00) for the afternoon option.
