Cape Town & Winelands

Cape Town is a cosmopolitan and sophisticated city built around the renowned Table Mountain, with the beautiful Winelands region just a short drive away.

The city has developed and maintained a reputation for its friendly hospitality. There is plenty to see and do in and around Cape Town with markets, museums, shopping, and excellent restaurants. A longer stay allows you to venture to the Winelands to enjoy not only the world-renowned food and wine but the beautiful landscape and lovely historic towns with their classy boutiques and excellent restaurants. Stay in one of the towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Tulbagh or one of the wine estates. There’s a huge variety of vineyards within easy reach where you can enjoy cellar tours and taste the wine from small, owner-run vineyards to larger cellars with the better-known names.
