Day 1

Early morning pick-up at your hotel or guest house in the Mother City.

Our luxury accommodation awaits. After booking in, there is the option of just lazing around the pool or strolling through the quaint little town of Franschhoek. In the evening we enjoy a flamboyant sabrage demonstration and dinner at Haute Cabriere Cellar Restaurant. This restaurant is recognised as one of the Top 10 eating establishments in South Africa.

Day 2

A nice relaxed start! After breakfast we visit the Huguenot Museum and rose garden, and for those who want to spoil themselves a bit there is an opportunity to visit the exclusive Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa, where you can enjoy one of the many treatments on offer.

Our first tasting today is at one of the area's best kept secrets, Boekenhoutskloof, home of the "Chocolate Block" and many other great wine. Boschendal estate is our next stop, where we enjoy "Le Pique Nique", a french style picnic under fragrant pines. It is then off to another Franschhoek gem, the impressive Chamonix Wine Farm - with fantastic wines and German style "Schnaps". Time pemitting we can pop in next door at the Dieu Donne Vineyards and sample a draught or two of the beer that they produce at their micro-brewery on site. This estate has spectacular views over the entire valley and is the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely sundowner.

For dinner tonight, the choice is yours! Franschhoek is home to many of South Africa's top restaurants.

Another relaxed start. After breakfast we head out to Stellenbosch, the wine capital of South Africa. Our first tasting today will be at the award winning Thelema and Rustenberg wine estates. We then take a walk along the popular Dorp Street in Stellenbosch with its historical old Cape Dutch architecture and vibrant student life. There will also be the opportunity to visit "Oom Samie se Winkel", an old trading post that is a must-see for any foreign visitor.

We then have a delicious picnic lunch in the camphor forest on the amazing Vergelegen wine estate. Our final wine tasting will take place at Meerlus, a prestigious estate and the producer of world-class wines including the iconic "Rubicon". A perfect ending to a wonderful tour which finishes on arrival in Cape Town.
