STELLENBOSCH TOUR FOR FOODIES

Embark on a scenic coastal drive to the charming fishing village of Hermanus, where breathtaking ocean views await and Southern Right whales frolic in the waters. Keep your eyes peeled for these majestic giants. Witnessing these incredible creatures’ breath is a sight you’ll never forget and will surely work up an appetite for a delicious lunch (own account). Next, we venture into the stunning Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven & Earth) Valley, where a boutique winery invites you to sample exceptional wines that reflect the region’s rich terroir. On Sundays, if the wineries are closed, we’ll explore the Stony Point Penguin Colony instead, where playful penguins await your visit. Our journey back to Cape Town takes us through the picturesque apple-growing region of Elgin, followed by the dramatic views from Sir Lowry’s Pass, before we return to the vibrant Mother City. A day of beauty, adventure, and unforgettable sights! Embark on a leisurely guided walking tour through Stellenbosch’s charming old town center, where history and flavor come alive. Indulge in a delightful chocolate and wine pairing experience, savoring the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Then, sample the finest craft beers from Stellenbosch’s top breweries, and enjoy premium cured beef snacks that showcase local culinary craftsmanship. For lunch, treat yourself to a platter of fresh, locally sourced produce served with artisan bread, an authentic taste of the region. Next, indulge in a liquid ‘dessert’ at a cutting-edge coffee laboratory, where innovation meets flavor. This walking tour highlights the best of Stellenbosch’s sustainable, seasonal produce and celebrated arts scene. Along the way, you’ll discover curated public art exhibitions and experience the passion of local food artisans and renowned artists in this vibrant, cultural hub. Sense the depth of history as you drive past Parliament Buildings, City Hall, and the Slave Lodge. Learn more about the history of the Bo-Kaap and its people as we move up the cobblestoned hills to the Malay Quarter, and marvel at the ice- cream colors of the quaint Bo-Kaap homes. Trace the moves of a professional diamond cutter as he creates every girl’s dream stone with a visit to a diamond cutting factory. After learning more about the history of diamonds and gold in South Africa, drive past the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium, Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay to Table Mountain.
