Get to know South Africa in the harvest period

Share/like this post:

With a vineyard area of almost 100,000 hectares, South Africa is the world’s seventh largest wine producer. More and more people are discovering the diversity of South Africa; the days are long gone when people only looked for inexpensive wines here.

Today, the producers, just like in many other wine regions, invest in sustainability and social responsibility. And, of course, in the quality and character of the wines.

During our tour in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Walker Bay, Elgin and Swartland, we will meet some of South Africa’s exciting wine people. We will taste wines from classic South African grapes such as chenin blanc and cinsault, Bordeaux grapes, pinotage, a crossing created in South Africa, and from grenache, syrah and many more grapes. The will to experiment and try new things is visible in South Africa.

We stay a few days in Cape Town and to visit, among other things, the Cape Peninsula with the Cape of Good Hope. A must! The harvest has probably started when we arrive in February, and the weather is still pleasantly warm but not too hot. A perfect time to visit South Africa.

Discover the South African vineyards with us!
