Summary

Begin your day with pickup at your Cape Town hotel in a luxury minivan and head straight for the famous Paarl wine region. Visit the Fairview Wine Estate for wine and cheese pairing session. Along with the winery’s well-known white wines, nibble on delicious cheeses. Stop for lunch in Franschhoek, internationally famous for its gourmet dining options. Get recommendations from your private guide for where to get something to eat (own expense) from the many restaurants and cafes in the pretty town. After your lunch break, hop aboard a short one-way Wine Tram journey to explore the region's Winelands by rail and taste fine wines at Rickety Bridge winery. Take in the splendid views from the winery while you taste their wines and learn how growing wine grapes in the mountains differs from growing them down in the valley. The last stop on your tour is the Muratie wine estate, a local favorite with lots of rustic charm, where you’ll end with something sweet. At Muratie, sample dessert wine and locally-made chocolate. Then, relax on the journey back to Cape Town, where you'll arrive in the early evening.
