YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTH AFRICA’S WINELANDS
STELLENBOSCH
Just a drive away from Cape Town, Stellenbosch is probably the most famous destination for wine tasting.

Stellenbosch is home to some of the country’s most renowned wine estates, where you can enjoy tastings of world-class wines. The town’s vibrant atmosphere, historic charm, and top-notch educational institutions make it a hub of culture and sophistication. Wander through the picturesque vineyards, and let each glass of wine tell a story of the region’s rich heritage. Which cultivars will you be tasting?
FRANSCHHOEK
Another quick drive from Cape Town and you find yourself in Franschhoek, probably one of the most visited towns in the Western Cape. Known as the culinary (and luxury) capital of South Africa, Franschhoek invites you to indulge in gourmet cuisine paired with exquisite wines amidst stunning mountain scenery. This charming town with its French Huguenot heritage offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary luxury. From artisanal chocolates to fine dining with a French twist, every culinary experience in Franschhoek is designed to excite and delight your palate. Bon appétit!
PAARL
And again, just around the corner from Cape Town, Paarl offers a true South African wine experience. Discover the third-oldest town in South Africa, the birthplace of the Afrikaans language with the historic Language Monument towering above the Paarl Mountains. Its famous Cape Dutch architecture and breathtaking vineyards producing award-winning wines, along with its scenic beauty and massive cultural significance, makes it a must-visit destination in the Winelands. Go for a hike on the Paarl Rock and visit the Drakenstein Correctional Centre where Nelson Mandela spent the last 14 months of his 27 year imprisonment – the last stop on his iconic long walk to freedom, all while enjoying the exceptional wines that this region has to offer. Cheers to that!
WINE ROUTES & CULINARY DELIGHTS
If South Africa is known for one thing, it’s their wines. But we simply cannot forget its culinary delights. Experience farm-to-fork dining at top-rated restaurants, enjoy ‘cheese & wine’ or ‘chocolate & wine’ pairings, or explore vibrant farmers markets showcasing local produce and artisanal products. The Winelands are renowned for their culinary excellence, where every meal is an opportunity to savor the region’s fresh, locally sourced ingredients and innovative cooking.
