Wine-making started in the Cape over 350 years ago, when the French Huguenots laid the foundations of a rich wine-making history, famous the world over. Together we will explore the breathtaking natural beauty and magnificent food and wine of the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions.

​

Our stops will include a range of wine estates, from the quaint historic to the sleek modern. There are more than 160 wine farms to choose from, so if you let me know what types of wine you enjoy, we can make an exciting selection.

​

You'll have a sumptuous lunch at one of many great restaurant options before continuing the estate visits.
