Wine tasting and lunch at The Black Oystercatcher in Elim, Cape Agulhas Wine Triangle (pay on site)

At the cool southern tip of Africa lies the Agulhas Wine Triangle, where grapes grow smaller but pack a punch with their intense flavours. In the mood to taste something a little different? Then this stop is a delightful surprise in the middle of nowhere. At The Black Oystercatcher, wine tasting gets a delicious twist and gets even better when paired with a generous antipasti platter. Think local charcuterie and cheese, cold-smoked trout, homemade fish and chicken liver paté, grilled veggies, fresh fruit and warm ciabatta and sourdough â€“ perfect partners for the estate’s unique wines. Before you leave, pop into the farm shop, a little treasure trove filled with local treats and goodies, before you drive the last stretch to your Gansbaai hotel.
