Description

Discover the Cape Winelands on a full-day tour from Cape Town. Visit the Long March to Freedom exhibition, enjoy wine tastings at 5 estates, and explore the towns of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch.
Begin your day with a visit to the Long March to Freedom exhibition in Century City. Walk among 100 life-size bronze statues of South Africa’s liberation icons and learn about the road to democracy.

Next, head to Paarl for your first wine tasting at the boutique Dekkersvlei Vineyards, followed by a celebrated cheese and wine pairing at the iconic Fairview Wine Estate, home of the Goats Do Roam range and its famous goat tower.

Continue with a powerful photo stop at Victor Verster Prison, now Drakenstein Correctional Centre, where Nelson Mandela took his final steps to freedom. See his bronze statue with a raised fist that marks that historic moment.

Head into the heart of Franschhoek for a premium tasting at the elegant Grande Provence Heritage Estate, set beneath the mountains with its sculpture garden and art gallery. Here, you have the optional experience of hopping aboard the famous Franschhoek Wine Tram for a scenic hop-on-hop-off ride through the valley vineyards.

Enjoy free time to explore charming Franschhoek town, with its French-inspired cafes, boutiques, and Huguenot history, before crossing the beautiful Helshoogte Pass to Stellenbosch to taste world-class wines at Delaire Graff Estate, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the entire Winelands.

Explore historic Stellenbosch town with its oak-lined streets and Cape Dutch architecture, and finally conclude your day with a sunset tasting at Marianne Wine Estate, a romantic French-owned boutique farm in Stellenbosch known for its bold red blends, providing the perfect last toast before returning to Cape Town.
