Savour an unforgettable day in the Cape Winelands, where you will be enchanted by the finest wines, mesmerised by breathtaking vistas, and captivated by a rich heritage that spans generations.
Start the day with a pick-up from your Cape Town accommodation. From there, we will head to the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, which is known for its surrounding vineyards and majestic mountains. The town's charming oak-shaded streets are adorned with cafés, boutiques and art galleries. The Cape Dutch architecture adds to the experience by giving a glimpse into the rich Dutch colonial history of South Africa.
Indulge in a one-of-a-kind experience at a boutique winery, where you can sample their exquisite, award-winning wine while taking in gorgeous views.
Our next destination is Franschhoek, which is known as the culinary capital of South Africa. It was featured in Time Magazine's 2022 list of the top 50 places to visit in the world. You will have the opportunity to explore the town and enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the many restaurants or cafés available.
After lunch, we will continue to Babylonstoren – one of the oldest working Cape Dutch farms in the Winelands region. The estate is built around a vast garden, inspired by the historic Company’s Garden in Cape Town. Each one of the more than 300 plant varieties in the garden is either edible or has medicinal value.
During your visit, you can enjoy a wine tasting or take part in various farm activities that will give you an insight into the farm's operations. Some of the activities include olive oil blending or visiting the essential oil distillery in the Scented Room.
We head back to Cape Town, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
