On this tour you will travel with like-minded wine enthusiasts and have the opportunity to connect and meet with winemakers and help support their local communities. 

Combining wine tasting, lunchtime conversations with the winemakers and cellar visits, this specialist Wines of South Africa & Safari Small Group tour, also includes cultural visits to the city of Cape Town, and a 3-day Big 5 safari experience close to the world-famous Kruger National Park.

Not only will the incredible landscape take your breath away, but you will visit many of South Africa's top vineyards, and meet the winemakers and understand how grape production and distributions systems work, to bring their wine to your table. And of course, with good wine comes good food and that's exactly what you will experience on this 2 week tour of South Africa.
