In South Africa you will discover some excellent wines but also fascinating landscapes and a delicious cuisine with influences from different part of the world. Cape Malay curries are worth trying more than once. More and more regions produce world-class wines.
We will visit Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Swartland, Tulbagh and Walker Bay, almost all regions of note and more than any other wine tour we know of covers.
You will get a good sense of how South African wines have developed during the last 30 years. Chenin blanc, for example, once used only for brandy (delicious!), is now a variety for top-quality white wines. And pinotage, South Africa’s own crossing, has come a long way since it was created in 1925. Now it delights us with fresh and charming wines as well as richer, deeper and powerful ones.
We meet in beautiful Cape Town and we will spend all our time in the Western Cape where practically all South African vineyards are located. We will also discover (in addition to the classics already mentioned) small towns such as Hermanus and Riebeek Kasteel.
The scenery everywhere is incredible; the mountains are omnipresent. In February it is late summer in South Africa, the weather is beautiful but not too hot and the producers are preparing the harvest or are even harvesting. As an extra bonus, all our hotels have a pool.
