Detailed itinerary

1

.Leave Cape Town behind and travel in a luxurious minivan to the Stellenbosch wine area, which is renowned for its Mediterranean climate and rich soils that contribute to the region's annual production of millions of litres of wine. Reboard your minivan with your knowledgeable guide and drive farther northwest to the Paarl wine area, which is home to renowned winemakers like Fairview. Visit the Fairview Wine Estate and sample a number of their well-known white wines and cheeses. Since this is a private trip, you are free to alter your daily schedule as you see fit. Take your time and meander the route, staying a little longer if you'd like to or perhaps stopping at cute places along the way. We advise getting there early for a master tasting of wine with cheese and olive oil, which will expand your palette and imagination to tastes you never imagined were possible.

2

Stop at Franchhoek Wine Tram. Continue to the charming town of Franschhoek for a special approach to see the Winelands of the area. Take the Franschhoek Wine Tram from the main Drakenstein ticket office for a 30-minute one-way ride over the valley's rolling vineyards to the Rickety Bridge winery, where you may partake in a regular wine tasting and taste a selection of 4 of their wines.

3

An open-air waggon hauled by the farm's tractor will take you from the station platform to the tasting facility, through rows of vines and the historic Rickety Bridge Cape Dutch Manor while giving you a look inside a functioning vineyard. When it's warm outside, wine tastings will take place next to toasty wood stoves with views of the vineyards and the spectacular Wemmershoek Mountains.

4

Lunch is served approximately 5 miles (8 km) away in Franschhoek, South Africa's culinary capital. Your private guide will recommend the best pavement eateries before letting you pay for lunch on your own. The capital of South Africa's culinary scene, Franschhoek, is a must-visit for foodies. On weekends, the neighbourhood farmer's market tempts shoppers with its vibrant stalls, enticing fragrances, and live music. You'll have time to learn about the history of the French Huguenots who immigrated in the seventeenth century, perhaps see an impromptu church choir performance in the street, browse the shops selling trinkets and bric-a-brac along the main street, or have a charcuterie plate and delectable local fare.

5

Your final destination of the day is the charming Muratie wine estate in Stellenbosch, which is well-liked by locals. Rustic beauty is accentuated by the old cellars' rickety walls and faded paintings. Try the estate's fortified wine and some of the best chocolate in the area! On the return trip to Cape Town, which will take place in the early evening, take it easy. The precise schedule is liable to alter, and it might occasionally proceed in a different sequence. This customised private tour will be conducted just for you. The tour's highlights that interest you the most can be given additional time on the customizable schedule, or you can swap them out for different stops.
