After collection from your hotel in Cape Town we will drive for around fifty minutes until we reach the heart of the Stellenbosch wine region.

We will choose two small family-run vineyards which showcase typical South African wines.  For white wines these will be Sauvignon Blanc and a lightly oaked Chardonnay.  Our reds tend to be blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz.  You will also try our unique South African grape variety, the Pinotage.
