Itinerary
8 am to 4 pm
Today, we visit one of the Western Cape's most extensive and finest wine estates. Anthonij Rupert Estate produces its robust wines on the slopes of the Groot Drakenstein mountains, some in the échalas style of the Rhône region of south-eastern France. We enjoy a cellar tour and wine-tasting experience at the Antonij Rupert Tasting Room. After sampling some of South Africa's finest and allowing some time for lunch, it's on to the Franschhoek Motor Museum.
The Museum houses over 220 vehicles, including an 1898 Beeston motor tricycle and a sought-after 2003 Ferrari Enzo. Several recognizable brands such as Aston Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, and Porsche are exhibited, as well as several lesser-known collectibles like the Humberette (1914), Moretti 750, Bugatti Type 23, and the French-produced Le Zebre - inappropriately named after the African equid of which it bears no resemblance! Their collection includes representatives of the antique, veteran, vintage, post-vintage, post-45, and post-60 categories, all prudently housed in four dehumidified halls. Enthusiasts may spend as much time as they wish to inspect the collection at leisure. We return to Cape Town in the afternoon.
