Cape Winelands is wine lovers paradise. Exploding with the scent of plump grapes and fertile earth, this unique region produces some of the world’s greatest wines on family owned vineyards.

If the sight of dramatic mountains and sprawling valleys and vineyards isn’t enough to have your mouth watering, the wine, brandies, and olive oil tastings will certainly do the trick.

On a Cape Winelands tour with Hills of Africa Travel, expect  . . .

• Personal tours given by expert guide, Pam McOnie of Cape Fusion Tours. Pam is a spectacular tour guide, equipped with an infinite knowledge of Cape Winelands and is a treat to anyone’s itinerary. With an obvious passion for food, wine, and Cape Winelands, Pam ensures her tours are culinary affairs, which are often the highlight of our clients’ itineraries.

• VIP access to some of the Winelands’ most prestigious estates including: Rust en Vrede, Bruwer Raats, Le Riche, Thelema, De Torin, and many others. The De Torin estate—open by appointment only—is a rare treat, which Hills of Africa Travel guests are able to enjoy. Visitors on their African safari trip are able to meet De Toren’s winemaker and enjoy a private tour and tasting. De Toren is no ordinary winemaking estate. They use the traditional way of making wine—using basket presses instead of pumping the wine.

• An invite to the Morgenster estate to enjoy world-renowned olive oil and wine tasting. The estate is one of the best examples of Cape Dutch Architecture in Cape Winelands, and it is a delightful treat to observe such a spectacular work of art.

• A gourmet feast at a picnic in Vergelegen’s Forest. The land owners spread white cloth decorated tables throughout the forest and serve a mouth-watering lunch to guests as they soak in the peaceful serenity of nature.
