We depart the city for the winelands in the nearby Boland Mountains for a leisurely exploration of historic towns, liquid delights, gastronomic wonders and home-grown hospitality. Wine estates visited will vary according to your preferences and there are chances aplenty en route for tastings of world-renowned reds and whites, as well as Cap Classiques – South Africa’s answer to “Champagne”. Some estates also offer child-friendly activities including Blauuwklippen, which has a collection of historic carriages; Seidelberg, which houses a glass-blowing studio and animal petting farm; and Fairview, whose goats provide endless amusement and great cheeses.

On route we visit Butterfly World, the largest park for butterflies in Southern Africa. Stroll through the indoor garden as beautiful butterflies flutter freely around you.

We will then have lunch at one of the many classic restaurants in the area before a final wine tasting. On our way home we stop at the Eagle Encounters at Spier Estate, a bird of prey rehabilitation and conservation centre, with a rare opportunity to photograph some of Africa’s largest raptors at close quarters and taste grape juice - just like the adults.

There are further options to visit Babylonstoren, the Motor Museum or meet Pigcasso, the rescued pig who is now a legend in the art world! The routing of this day will depend on guests wine preference and/or choice of activities.
