Cellar visit including wine tasting at Groot Constantia (pay on site)

Groot Constantia, established in 1685 by Cape Governor Simon van der Stel, is South Africa’s oldest wine estate and the birthplace of its wine industry. Chosen for its ideal terroir and stunning views, the estate’s wines soon gained global fame, favoured by royalty and even mentioned in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Today, visitors can explore this legacy with the Visitors Route Experience, which includes a museum visit, cellar tour, wine tasting and a souvenir glass. For a sweeter touch, add a chocolate pairing to your tasting. Tickets are available online or at the estate. And if you’re into fine dining, nearby La Colombe – Africa’s top-rated, Michelin-starred restaurant – is an unmissable treat … But book well in advance to avoid disappointment!
