South Africa has a long history of wine growing. The first thing the European settlers did when they arrived in the 1600s was to plant vineyards. The modern history of South African wines started after the end of apartheid. Europe and countries around the world fell in love with the wines in the 1990s.
And the success story continues.
We want to make you discover not only the wines but also the land where the grapes are grown, the stunningly beautiful Cape Winelands (and not just from a pool’s edge).
This is in the southernmost part of the country. We will meet in Cape Town, considered by many the most beautiful city in the world.
From there we continue down to the South Coast, Walker Bay, where some of the best pinot noir and chardonnay wines in the country are made. From there we drive over the Franschhoek Pass to the small but very famous town of Franschhoek.
We continue north to Swartland and Tulbagh and then south again to Stellenbosch and finish in Constantia.
All regions have their own characteristics and winemakers that specialise in specific styles of wines. We will meet some of these winemakers and to hear them talk about the work and their wines is the best way of learning more about the South African wines.
The local cuisine is always important on our tours, we will have some delicious meals together with local specialities. And we’ll do some sightseeing in Cape Town, of course. A tour that will give you an insight into the South African winelands and wines like no other wine tour here.
