We leave the Mother City via the coastal Whale Route, our first stop towards the famous whale watching town of Hermanus, is at Stoney Point, for a visit of the real penguin colony. If it is whale watching season, we certainly hope to catch a more than just a glimpse of these incredible animals from different vantage points. You'll also get to meet the well-known whale caller of Walker Bay.

Our journey then takes us north-east to one of the Cape’s largest wine and farm regions. Enjoy a bottle of wine on the viewing deck after as you look over the town Montagu and enjoy the mountains. Optional; While we light the fire and prepare a traditional South African Braai. You'll love this location!

The Robertson Wine Valley, is good for almost 20% of the total wine production in South Africa and is the home of multiple award winning wineries. After a continental breakfast we leave on a full day wine tasting tour. We will show you the whole process form grape to wine, with in-cellar walks, we will even explain the art of wine blending and have you create your own personal bottled blend. A river cruise and lunch pick-nick is additional available upon request.

To stay in the wine spirit, we are serving fondue Bourguignonne, a Oil fondue, where diners cook their food in hot oil. The legend goes that vineyard workers in the region of Burgundy would come in for meals at different times, which meant it was difficult to have a hot meal ready for everyone. 

After a peaceful night in the Klein Karroo and a buffet breakfast, we start our trip via the Cape winelands back to Cape Town. But our trip hasn’t come to an end yet. Our route takes us via vineyards, farmlands and mountain passes to Fransschoek. Our trails winds through flowers and wildlife at Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve with views over Franschhoek Valley.
