South Africa  -   The Cape Winelands

Cape Winelands – Wine tour                     7 – 15 January 2010

Great wines, fine dining and superb accommodation at one of the newest 5* hotels of the Cape

A 9-day tour of the Cape Winelands with accommodation at the superb 5* hotel

built on the Asara Wine Estate, ideally located on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. 

Stellenbosch is, perhaps, the finest wine area in South Africa.  Many of the most

famous names in South African wines can be found in an area reaching from

sea-facing slopes to valley-hugging hills.  Our tour includes some of the country’s

best vineyards - Hazendal, Kleine Zalze, Meerlust and Simonsig in Stellenbosch;

Haute Cabriere in the breathtaking Franschhoek Wine Valley, and Lindhorst in Paarl.

Wine tastings hosted by the wine-maker give the chance to see and understand the

passion and enthusiasm that goes into making good wine. A full sightseeing

programme includes travelling through the majestic Du Toit Kloof mountains, around

Cape Peninsula and time in Cape Town to enjoy Table Mountain and the

V & A Waterfront.  With nightly dining at some of the best restaurants in the Cape

This promises to be a memorable wine and food experience.
