Flavours of the Cape: A Winelands Discovery

Departure from Cape Town 8am pick-up.  

Collected from your central location by your qualified guide and driver.

Morning: Stellenbosch — The Heart of the Winelands

Our first stop takes you into the soul of Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second-oldest town. As you stroll along historic Dorp Street, past whitewashed gables and art-filled galleries, your guide will share insights into the town’s legacy — from its 17th-century origins to its modern-day role as the culinary capital of the Cape.

Olive Oil Tasting —  A Liquid Gold Experience

Next, ascend to a celebrated estate overlooking the Helshoogte Valley. Here, olive trees thrive alongside vines, and craftsmanship is revered. Guided by an expert host, you’ll taste your way through the estate’s finest oils — from delicate and grassy to bold and peppery — learning how terroir, harvest, and time shape each note.

Includes a few surprise stops — thoughtfully chosen to add an extra burst of flavour and discovery.

Heritage Gardens & Farm-to-Table Lunch

We continue to a beautifully restored Cape Dutch farm, where history meets innovation. Eight acres of vibrant gardens unfold in symmetry — a living tribute to the land’s bounty. Following a guided walk, indulge in a garden-inspired lunch at the estate’s acclaimed restaurant. Each dish tells the story of soil, sun, and seed — an intimate expression of the Cape’s connection between land and table.

Afternoon: Passport to Flavour

The final chapter unfolds at a dynamic artisan village — a celebration of creativity and craft. Here, your personal tasting passport becomes the key to discovery. Wander between curated tasting rooms, each one offering a new delight:

• Charcuterie — Handcrafted cured meats that showcase time-honoured preservation techniques.
• Craft Beer — Four distinctive brews that balance freshness and depth.
• Chocolate  — Decadent creations that highlight single-origin cacao and local flavour artistry.
• Gin — Two small-batch gins infused with indigenous botanicals and paired with premium tonic.
• Wine Tasting — Six expertly crafted wines that express the Cape’s diverse terroir.

Move at your own pace, linger where curiosity calls, and engage with the passionate artisans who bring these creations to life. It’s an experience designed not to rush but to revel in — a fitting conclusion to a day of indulgence and inspiration.
