The Experience

A full day in the Cape Winelands

The complete Winelands day. Begin with a wine and cheese pairing and cellar tour at Zevenwacht on the Stellenbosch wine route, wander historic Stellenbosch, then continue to Franschhoek for lunch and the famous Wine Tram, gliding between tastings through the valley's vineyards. A final tasting at Rickety Bridge or Plaisir de Merle, and a photo stop where Nelson Mandela walked to freedom in 1990, close the day in style.
