Distance
127 km (79 mi)

Itinerary
8 am to 4 pm
Guests are met upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport or any other location of their choice in Cape Town. From here, a short drive brings the tour to Lourensford, established in 1700. Here, centuries of winemaking heritage combine with modern innovation to produce exceptional wines. We enjoy a tasting in the elegant tasting room with stunning mountain and vineyard views. There is also a craft brewery and coffee roastery that should delight those who are not wine lovers.
From here, we visit Stellenbosch, one of the most beautiful and historically significant towns in South Africa. We walk along Dorp Street to view fine examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian architecture set amongst ancient oak trees. Lunch is followed by a visit to one of the fine wine estates on the Stellenbosch Wine Route, where guests can enjoy an introduction to wine-making in South Africa. Favorites are Lanzerac, Tokara or Rust en Vrede. We then make our way to the overnight destination in Cape Town.
