South Africa has a delightful climate, not least in February when it is time for our wine tour. The weather is pleasantly warm but never too warm. The vines thrive, and the grapes can be picked at a full ripeness but still with a good freshness.
The harvest starts in February, so the activities in the vineyards and wine cellars are at full speed. It’s a fun time to visit a wine region. The growers are full of confidence for the 2024 harvest. After the drought a few years ago, it has now appropriately rained, and the dams are full of water.
During our ten days in South Africa, we will have time to see a part of the approximately 90,000 hectares of vineyards. We visit some of the most important regions, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Walker Bay, Elgin, and Swartland. All have their special character and specialty. They increasingly take advantage of what different terroirs give to the wine.
We start the journey in Cape Town. Of course, we can add, because you don’t want to miss this beautiful city. In South Africa, you will discover a wine country with great variety.
White wines from chenin blanc, chardonnay, and others have distinct characters. Red wines include refreshing cinsault, structured cabernet sauvignon, spicy pinotage, and more. A new generation of ambitious winegrowers is transforming the South African wine industry.
There are still a few places left on the wine tour to South Africa in February.
