This area is often overlooked as people make a beeline for the wine farms around Stellenbosch and beyond. Just 20 minutes from most Cape Town hotels, Constantia valley is situated in a rural and mountainous setting on the slopes of Table Mountain and although close to the city, you feel a world away.
We will start the day at Kirstenbosh Gardens exploring the Tree Top Adventure on the way out to the Peninsula, searching for the 'The Boomslang' inspired by a snake skeleton this spectacular Tree Canopy Walkway winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum.
Continue your morning with an in depth guided tour of the Norval Foundation which offers a unique world class Sculpture Park, a triple volume Atrium as well as unique art gallery spaces.
Situated in a rural and mountainous setting on the slopes of Table Mountain, although close to the city, you feel a world away once you are in the Constantia Wine Valley.
The wine farms vary greatly and no farm is more than 5 or 10 minutes from the next with many linked by cycle and hiking tracks. This maximises time out exploring, so if a lot of your holiday has been in a 4x4 safari vehicle or sightseeing around Cape Town, this allows for a day mostly spent on the farms and not in a vehicle.
To get a perspective on the valley this adventure starts at Beau Constantia, located high on the slopes of Table Mountain. We will break into the wine tasting at ease, learning about how the different tastes come from the different soils and exposure.
For lunch, Indulge in a decadent tapas style lunch prior to spending the afternoon exploring wine farms of choice in the region and enjoying some varied wine tastings.
For a sense of history we’ll pay a visit to Groot Constantia with an array of award winning wines and beautiful walks on the estate among the vines.
