Food and wine

What you'll do

Visit a classic winery in the Stellenbosch area of the Cape Winelands to taste its flagship or vintage wines. For something a little different, taste three wines paired with fine-textured, hand-made Belgian chocolate. Or jump onto a safari vehicle for a chance to experience the wines in the vineyards of their origin.
