Winelands Add-On
Day 1
Cape Town - Stellenbosch
Meals Privided:
(Driving time: approx 45 minutes; excursions times variable)
This morning you will be collected from the airport, or from your Cape Town hotel, and head for the charming town of Stellenbosch which lies at the heart of the oldest, and arguably most famous, wine-producing region in the country. Your base for the next two nights is an historic hotel, located within walking distance of more than 40 excellent restaurants and coffee shops, all the major museums, more than six art museums/galleries and three theatres.
The afternoon is spent visiting some of the region’s renowned wineries, famous for the pinotage variety of grape which South Africa is known for. There are many of wineries to choose from including Rustenberg, Tokara, La Avenier, Middle vlei or Neil Ellis.
For dinner tonight we suggest a traditional braai (barbeque) that can be enjoyed on the banks of the Eerste River at De Oewer Restaurant within walking distance of the hotel (weather dependant). This option is only available from the end of November until the beginning of April. As an alternative we recommend a visit to Volkskombuis restaurant (De Oewers sister restaurant) which specialises in traditional Cape cuisine, in authentic Cape Dutch surroundings.

This morning we head off on a walking tour of Stellenbosch. The streets of Stellenbosch are filled with beautiful Cape Dutch architecture, historic buildings and oak-lined streets.
In the late afternoon we visit the Spier Wine Estate for personal encounters with cheetahs and raptors as part of the wine farm's outreach initiative to protect these endangered animals.
The evening we are in for a truly memorable experience as we dine under the stars at the award-winning Moyo @ Spier. Set in a magnificent tree-lined garden, the restaurant comprises Bedouin tents, gazebos and even treehouses! We are entertained by many local performers throughout the evening, ranging from theatre, to storytelling to tribal dancing.
An unforgettable evening to savour scrumptious food, fine wines and exhilarating performances - all with a distinctly Cape African flavour!
