Activity Description

A personalized and wholly unique wine experience hosted by an exceptionally talented and knowledgeable South African sommelier who is dedicated to the art of wine. You will gain insights into the nuances of terroir, grape varietals, and winemaking traditions that set South African wines apart. It’s not just wine tasting; it’s a deep immersion into two specially selected South African vineyards and cellars. An experience crafted for the discerning wine enthusiast and travelers interested in broadening their knowledge of South African viticulture.

We will be taking in much of the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of this corner of the wine world. Each experience is a snap-shot of the industry, providing guests with insights into selected brands, and how they fit into the world of wine.

Itinerary
At about 09:00 am, you will be met by your dedicated sommelier at your accommodation, and chauffeured through the Cape Winelands, with a short stop for coffee & snacks at a quaint spot en route, as you move towards the first specially selected vineyard destination.

You will be met by the wine estate’s host, either the winemaker, viticulturist or a senior member of their team, and treated to a personalised walking tour covering the history of their vineyard, the evolution of their processes, and what lead to success within their niche. This culminates in a wine tasting where the specialist sommelier will elaborate on the uniqueness of these wines in contrast to the broader region.

Following this, you will be taken to our second handpicked destination. Here, a senior member of the wine making team, if not the winemaker themselves will welcome you to their vineyard, sharing details about how their winemaking approaches set them apart. Throughout the personalised cellar tour and wine tasting, you will have the unique opportunity to individually experience and enquire about the complexities of the tastings, including details about the estate and the region which would not normally be shared with the public.

This fascinating window into South African wines will culminate in an al fresco light lunch around midday, either in a boutique restaurant or a vineyard picnic.

After a short break you will be chauffeured from the winelands back to your accommodation arriving back in Cape Town at about 17:00.
