Experiencing the unexpected - we begin exploring Dylan Lewis Gardens before exploring the musical vines of DeMorgenzon, where Baroque Music is piped through the vineyards 24/7. Our tour will continue in this magical region where we will enjoy Lunch at one of the many fine dining restaurants on offer before ending the day with a Private Tasting at Muratie, one of the oldest estates in South Africa rich with history.
Immerse yourself in the heart of Stellenbosch, one of the unique wine regions in the Western Cape, to experience some memorable visits and unique wine estates.
Get your day off to a gentle start with a guided tour through the Dylan Lewis sculpture garden. The Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden is a place of expansive vistas, scents and the sounds of nature, with tranquil groves, hidden paths and lush indigenous vegetation. Stroll in the gardens, to view at over 60 sculptures carefully placed in harmony with the landscape. The Sculptures focus on the human form, shamanic figures, monumental, abstracted fragments, and his iconic great cats. Along four kilometers of paths, one is led on a journey through different 'rooms', from the heather hills dominated by earthy male images to the meditative poplar grove with its sensual female torsos.
Our onward journey will lead us into the heart of Stellenbosch where we will explore on two feet, beginning at Dorp Street, one of the longest rows of old buildings surviving in any major town in southern Africa, it oozes with an old-world charm. We will take a stroll down the street and admire the beautiful Cape Dutch architecture, restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops before continuing through the heart of the Town.
Next, we make our way to DeMorgenzon Wine Estate. DeMorgenzon’s grape growing ethos is the most unique in the area, they have chosen to pipe Baroque music through the vineyards 24/7, strongly believing that the power of music positively influences the ripening process. Experience the unique tasting while enjoying the stunning views right across to Cape Town, Table Mountain, Cape Point.
Your lunch will be enjoyed at Jordan Restaurant which offers spectacular views of the lake, vineyards, mountains, and valley. The modern, yet simple décor in neutral shades with a splash of red, where visitors can unwind and enjoy the freshly produced fare and top-quality wines amongst the aromas of baking bread, pastries, and freshly brewed coffee. Alternatively, one may dine ‘al fresco’ on either the lawns or the newly completed wooden deck.
Continuing the day as we indulge in a wine tasting at Muratie Wine Estate. Muratie's rich history is captured in every nook and cranny. Wherever you are on the estate you cannot help being moved by a sense of the many generations that have lived and worked on this estate.
