The Cape Winelands, South Africa’s vineyards, are almost all located in the Western Cape, at most a couple of hours’ drive from Cape Town. Travelling through the vineyards involves a fascinating mix of high mountains, winding mountain passes and vast plains.
Just like the landscape, the wines offer an impressive variety. We visit growers in the warm Tulbagh area, next to Swartland. Here, delicious wines with character are made from, among other grapes, chenin blanc, grenache, and semillon. Down on the cool south coast in Walker Bay, we taste chardonnay and pinot noir, as well as outstanding pinotage.
We also visit the classic regions of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, of course, and we have time for a short sightseeing tour of Cape Town and the impressive Table Mountain.
Our lunches at the vineyards deserve a mention. South African gastronomy is a rich blend of influences from several continents, resulting in an exquisite cuisine.
South Africa today boasts numerous exciting wines, and wine consumers are finally realising that top-class wines are available here. Of course, our hotels are all very comfortable, and they all have pools so that you can cool off after a hot day.
