No visit to this incredible part of South Africa, is ever complete without a tour of the surrounding Cape Winelands. Start with a visit to the only dedicated sparkling wine cellar, and then visit one or more of the many wine estates or the brandy cellars in Stellenbosch or Franschhoek. This tour is available as a full day tour with lunch, but also possible for both mornings (preferred) or afternoons. Any of the tour options can also be adjusted to wine-pairing tastings, where you combine our super wines with cheese, biltong, pizza, chocolate and more! Simply tell us what you prefer when you book!

Early morning ascent (weather permitting) of the majestic sandstone bastion guarding over the “Mother City” of South Africa, with a mid-morning transfer to Robben Island. On your return from the island there will be free/leisure time to spend in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront development. Lunch is optional in the Waterfront.

After an ascent of Table Mountain, visit the floral wonder on the Eastern slopes of the mountain – Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
