Tour Overview

The Cape Winelands are South Africa's epicurean paradise, where centuries-old vineyards nestle between dramatic mountain ranges just 45 minutes from Cape Town. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl produce world-class wines that rival the best from France and California. This luxury retreat combines private wine tastings at premier estates, gourmet lunches paired with award-winning wines, and exploration of the charming Cape Dutch architecture that defines the region. Ride the Franschhoek Wine Tram, dine at South Africa's top restaurants, and relax in boutique hotels surrounded by vineyards.
