Take to the skies on a private helicopter journey along the Cape's dramatic coastline, combining aviation exhilaration with West Coast wine discovery.
Depart from ExecuJet's private hangar at Cape Town International, enjoying premium pre-flight hospitality before lifting off on a spectacular coastal journey..
First stop: Ge Deelte Wines near St Helena Bay, where winemaker John Bouwer hosts a private tasting of his rare cultivars, including Barbarossa, a red grape variety grown in only six known locations worldwide, with just one hectare under vine here.
From there, continue to the windswept village of Paternoster for a multi-course, terroir-led tasting at the award-winning Wolfgat Restaurant. With sweeping ocean views & a reputation for indigenous ingredients, Chef Kobus van der Merwe's seven-course Strandveld menu reflects the wild landscape around you.
To further deepen the journey, a private botanist-led Strandveld walk after lunch explores the very flora that inspires the kitchen.
