Stellenbosch Winelands Experience





Description
We have designed the tour in such a way that you get to visit and taste wine at 3 distinctly different wineries in terms of setting, size, production, style of wine and winemaker. A strong focus has been placed on supporting family owned wineries who adhere to ethical labour, agricultural and cellar practices. Some of the most beautiful vineyards in the Southern Hemisphere to tasting wine in the home of one of SA's first female winemakers in her home. This tour has it all.

Itinerary
We start in the historical town of Stellenbosch is our first stop as we delve into the culture rich, foodie haven and vibrant streets. A cup of perfectly brewed local coffee will kick start your day, coupled with something sweet or savory before we head for the mountains.
Thelema Vineyards or Keermont Vineyards : A celebration of smaller vineyards driven by passion, honesty and quality. Our first stop is on the Eastern side of Stellenbosch at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains. This is a special location tucked away in the most northern corner of Paradyskloof (Paradise Valley). Pockets of special vines produce a superlative and memorable first tasting.
Oldenberg Mountain Vineyards: These breath-taking views set the tone for an unforgettable experience – with the focus on letting our guests understand the sense of place and connect truly with the wines. I struggle to believe there is a better setting to taste wine anywhere in the winelands.
Lunch then takes place at either the Boschendal Farm Deli Restaurant
The final wine tasting destination is at a boutique, family owned vineyard called Mitres Edge where we are able to host the tasting in their manor house or private underground wine cellar. She often hosts the tasting herself too!
