Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 :

  Guests will be met at any location of their choice in Cape Town, from where we travel to and explore the town of Stellenbosch. The town lies at the foot of the Cape Fold mountain range, which provides soil favourable for viticulture. Grapes grown in this area are primarily used for wine production. After exploring the town of Stellenbosch, we visit two of the fine wine estates in the region. Here guests enjoy wine tasting and gain insight into the production of wine in South Africa. We will book in at the Le Franschhoek

  • Meals & Drinks : Dinner

• Day 2 :

  Guests are met after breakfast and the day is devoted to visiting the town of Franschhoek and the surrounding wine estates. The Cape Dutch architecture in Franschhoek is a must to view. We visit the Huguenot Museum. The three high arches symbolize the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The central female figure personifies religious freedom with a Bible in her one hand and broken chain in the other. She is casting off her cloak of oppression and her position on top of the globe shows her spiritual freedom. The fleur de lies on her robe represents a noble spirit and character. After exploring the town, visits will be made to three wine estates in the Drakenstein Valley. This area is renowned for the fine quality wines it produces. Overnight at Le Franschhoek

  After an enjoyable breakfast, the tour makes its way up the Franschhoek Pass. The pass has spectacular views of the Franschhoek Valley. The road descends to the Du Toits River at the foot of the pass. The area lacks the fertility of the Drakenstein Valley and appears arid, even though it is being irrigated from the Thee Waterkloof Dam. The road leads to Grabouw in the Elgin Valley, which is sandwiched between the Hottentots-Holland, Kogelberg and Groenland mountains. The Elgin Valley is the heart of the South African deciduous fruit region, with apples, pears and plums. Back on the main highway the town Hermanus is well known as a station to enjoy land-based whale watching. Since August 1992, it has hosted the world's only 'Whale Crier', who sounds his kelp horn to announce the arrival of whales. Guests spend the afternoon at leisure. The day will end enjoying a cocktail overlooking the ocean. Sleep-over at Marine Hermanus.

  Hermanus is known for the whales. Best times for whale watching are between June and November. It is also renowned for its fishing and perlemoen industry. You will visit the Hamilton Russell Wine Estate before enjoying lunch in town. After some time for relaxation, guests will board a whale charter in New Harbour. The charter gives guests an opportunity to view these giants of the ocean close up, with spectacular displays of Southern Right whales breaching the water, tail slapping and spy-hopping.

Besides sheep farming, the town also boasts other agricultural activities, including wheat, milk, and indigenous fynbos cultivation. The tour then travels on to Cape Agulhas, which, in its Portuguese form - "Cabo das Agulhas" - translates to "Cape of Needles". It is the geographic southern tip of the African continent.
