Cape Town Tours - Save 10%
Drive out to Paarl and Stellenbosch in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Tour the wine cellars and enjoy cheese & wine tasting at a Franschhoek vineyard.
We will depart from the City and head north to Paarl. Our first stop this morning is for our morning wine tasting at Nelsons Creek Estate (alternative estates on Sundays and Public Holidays). After a tour through their cellars, a chance to sample some of their local wines as well as a cheese tasting.
A brief city tour of Paarl follows, before we make our way to Franschhoek with a photo stop at the Groot Drakenstein Prison where Nelson Mandela was released in Feb 1990. This little village nestled amongst the mountains, can easily be mistaken as being in Switzerland. After a short tour of the little town, a second wine tasting will be done in Franschhoek followed by a lunch stop (optional - to own account), maybe a chance to try some of the fresh trout that Franschhoek is known for.
After lunch the tour continues through to Stellenbosch via the Helshoogte Mountain Pass. It is easy to understand why Simon van der Stel decided to settle a village amongst the mountains. The backdrop of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, the white gabled Cape Dutch homesteads and the oak lined streets and lanes all blend in to give this place a charm that will not be quickly forgotten. Time permitting we will include a third and final wine tasting.
