Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
The Winelands and Cape,Cape Town
100% customisable for you
Welcome to South Africa! After the long journey from the UK, meet your transfer driver at arrivals and happily have your bags whisked away. The drive into town from the airport can be less than half an hour so you'll be at your hotel and checked in before you know it. We recommend easing into your first day by heading to the beach in Camps Bay or Clifton to soak up some sun as you laze on the soft white sand and acclimatise. When you start to get peckish, the uber trendy, palm fringed Camps Bay is just around the corner, so enjoy a seafood lunch and your first glass of crisp South African Sauvignon. Alternatively, as late afternoon arrives, jump in a taxi to the base of Table Mountain's cable car. Timing your visit just right will mean you get to see the sun slowly set as the city below is illuminated.
Enjoy a full day in the tranquil fishing village-come-town of Paternoster. Wander between traditional thatched and white washed cottages and soak up the relaxed atmosphere before heading down to the beach. Spend the best part of your day in the sun, on this wide stretch of white sand or overlooking it from your hotel pool. Later in the day, freshen up and head into the centre for a spot of boutique trinket shopping, a sundowner and a delicious dinner. When in a fishing village it's got to be seafood; set in an old fisherman's house Gaaitjie offers panoramic ocean views from atop the hill and home cooked, comforting dishes - always a winner in our eyes.
Start today with a long lie in and a very leisurely breakfast at your hotel in Paternoster. Then pack up the car and begin the two and a half hour drive north east to Bushman's Kloof lodge, in the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains. Once you arrive, check in and spend the afternoon and evening enjoying the luxurious lodge and its four swimming pools, and the incredible scenery from your private terrace.
Enjoy a tailor-made tasting tour of the Cape Winelands with a local wine expert today. This day is yours to tailor and craft as you choose, so if you find a particularly good winery feel free to tell your driver you want to stay there until further notice. Sit peacefully, sip regularly and soak up some South African sun in this beautiful area - days don't get much better than this. Although make sure you don't forget to leave some time to enjoy a long lunch at one of the top estates or restaurants on route. With Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch all on your doorstep you're spoilt for choice when it comes to top quality wineries here. While the Franschhoek area is well known for its history, it has also become something of a hotspot for food and wine connoisseurs in recent years, so couple your sauvignon with a soft cheese or your merlot with a milky chocolate and you've got the ultimate tasting experience. Paarl is the lesser known area and yet is growing in popularity since it produced the world first white Pinotage, and then there's Stellenbosch, the most famous and well-established wine destination in all of South Africa. It's entirely up to you which areas you explore, but your guide will always be on hand to give the very best recommendations and ensure you go home with a souvenir bottle or three to remember your day.
