Three Regions in One Day: A comprehensive tour of the Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl wine routes.
Nelson Mandela’s “Long Walk to Freedom”: Visit Groot Drakenstein Prison (formerly Victor Verster), the historic site where Mandela was released in 1990, marking the end of Apartheid.
Luxury at Delaire Graff: Visit the “Jewel of the Winelands” for spectacular views over the Helshoogte Pass and world-class art.
Artisanal Pairings at Fairview: Enjoy a famous wine and cheese tasting at this beloved Paarl landmark, home to the iconic Goat Tower.
Haute Cabrière Heritage: Taste exceptional Cap Classique (sparkling wine) inside a mountain cellar overlooking the Franschhoek Valley.
Sustainability at Spier: Explore one of South Africa’s oldest and most eco-conscious wine farms, famous for its commitment to art and the environment.
01. Paarl & The Iconic Fairview Estate We begin in Paarl at Fairview Wine and Cheese. Here, you’ll enjoy a curated tasting of artisanal cheeses paired with Mediterranean-style wines, all while viewing the estate’s famous resident goats.
02. The Legacy of Freedom at Groot Drakenstein We make a poignant stop at Groot Drakenstein Prison. Stand before the bronze statue of Nelson Mandela at the very gates where he took his first steps of freedom on February 11, 1990. It is a powerful moment of reflection on South Africa’s journey to democracy.
03. Franschhoek & Haute Cabrière Next, we head into the “French Corner.” We visit Haute Cabrière, an estate steeped in history and famous for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The terrace offers one of the most photographed views in the entire wine region.
04. Stellenbosch: Delaire Graff & Spier In the afternoon, we explore the heights of the Helshoogte Pass at Delaire Graff, a destination for luxury lovers and art enthusiasts. We conclude our day at Spier Wine Farm, where you can enjoy a final tasting or a stroll through their award-winning sustainable vineyards.
Many tours only visit one region, but the Cape Winelands are incredibly diverse. By combining Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl, you experience the full spectrum of South African winemaking—from the “Old World” French influence to modern, sustainable innovation. Our private guides handle all the navigation, allowing you to indulge in the world-class wines safely and comfortably while learning the deep history of the “Mother City’s” backyard.
