South Africa: Discover the great transformation up close | wine tour

Share/like this post:

In South Africa, the vineyard landscape spans roughly 100,000 hectares (240,000 acres). This expanse has remained rather consistent, yet something of a revolution has happened in the vineyards the last 20 years. Where once the majority of grapes were destined for brandy through distillation, today’s focus is on vinification for making wine. Our tour across South Africa’s wine country will reveal this transformation firsthand.

The wine producers today are innovative and they are crafting wines that are not only delicious but also exciting. The diversity in grape varieties is astounding; under the South African sun many different varieties thrive. The result is a treasure trove of wine styles.

It is easy to find a style that pair well with the local cuisine, for instance spicy Cape Malay dishes such as samosa and bobotie.

We will meet in Cape Town and we will visit the wine regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Walker Bay, Elgin, Swartland and Tulbagh.
