It is easy to like South Africa. The wines are delicious, even magnificent, the food is excellent, the landscape is beautiful. South Africa’s vineyards are all located in the southernmost part of the country.
The almost 100,000 hectares are spread over a fairly small area. You could stay in Cape Town and make day trips to many of the wine regions. However, we prefer to move around a bit and stay, not only in Cape Town, but also in Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Hermanus in Walker Bay and in Riebeek Kasteel in Swartland. This gives us a better feel for the wine regions and these small towns are also very charming (in different ways).
The weather in South Africa is Mediterranean, warm in the summer, but not too hot and often with a slight breeze that cools the vineyards.
Many grape varieties thrive; Bordeaux grapes, syrah, cinsault, grenache, pinotage, chenin blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, and several other. Wine is the focus of our tour, but we also do some sightseeing, such as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope.
During our delicious lunches (and a few dinners) together, most of them at the wineries, we enjoy the local gastronomy. Passionate winemakers are of course also part of the tour.
