Excursion

Chocolate & wine tasting

The Waterford Estate is worth visiting for many reasons. Its beautiful, Tuscan architecture is impressive, and the wine maker Kevin Arnold is one of the biggest names in the business, responsible for The Jem, the first South African wine really focused on the very best grapes and the very best techniques, produced in small quantities of amazing quality (and price!). But the most intriguing reason to visit is their chocolate and wine tastings. They have a chocolatier who has specifically designed three chocolates to be eaten with two of their reds and their sweet wine. The chocolates are exclusively for this purpose and cannot be found elsewhere. He has done an amazing job, so good in fact that you can’t actually tell where the taste of the wine finishes and the chocolate starts. It really does have to be tried to be believed!

Excursion

Boschendal Estate

Boschendal has been opening its gates to visitors for many years now, and it shows as they offer a great range of attractions beyond just the wines. Their Manor House dates back to the 17th century, and its classic Cape Dutch architecture has been complimented with restored, genuine furnishings from the same period; the Manor House now functions as a small museum. The grounds are extensive and pretty: you’re invited to walk around, past the dams and through the nature reserve; they’ll even put a picnic together for you, or alternatively the restaurant serves great, simple food. Between all of these, it’s possible to spend at least half a day at Boschendal if you so wish, and if you’re keen just to relax a bit and soak up the scenery and atmosphere.

Excursion

Horseback Wine-tasting

The rows of pretty vines, surrounded by verdant trees and corralled between towering mountains are ideal for horse riding, and trails criss-cross the landscape. A variety of options are available, from short trails for beginners, to longer trails including some wine tasting, and perhaps a meal, to evening rides with a glass of wine at sunset. All abilities are catered for.

Excursion

Cycling the Winelands

Combine a love of wine and the great outdoors with a guided bicycle tour through the heart of the Cape Winelands. Cycle along farm roads and through private vineyards sampling some of the best wines the region has to offer. Half-day tours are available in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek while a full-day tour in Franschhoek includes a glimpse of some of the culture and heritage of this small town. There are even bike tours for families where the children get to partake in non-alcoholic beverages and pairings. Just ask your specialist and they will propose the most suitable tour for you.

Excursion

Franschhoek Wine Tram

The Franschhoek Wine Tram is a hop-on-hop-off tour that takes in some of the most picturesque and tasty wine estates in the area. There are four different tours that take in a mix of transportation - tram, tram-bus and private transfer all with the stunning backdrop of the Franschhoek Winelands. There are tours departing throughout the day visiting estates like Rickety Bridge, Grande Provence, Le Lude, La Petite Dauphine, Holden Manz, La Bourgogne, La Couronne and Mont Rochelle and many more beautiful places. Make a day of it and book somewhere for lunch. Each tour includes 2 complimentary wine tastings.
