Cape Winelands
Cape Winelands information:
One activity that is quite popular with our clients are the local Gourmet Food Markets that take place mostly on a Saturday in Cape Town and the Winelands.
They are a smorgasbord of tastes, sights, smells, food/wine/chocolate/olives…
Wine lover or not a visit to the Cape Winelands is an absolute must as the region is one of breathtaking vistas and majestic mountain backdrops while being steeped in rich culture and history.
Rolling vineyards and quaint Cape Dutch homesteads await you as well as award-wining wine farms offering some of the country’s best wines.
The winelands are divided into various different regions each offering their own ‘wine route’.
The most popular and well-known are Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Wellington and Paarl.
They are situated only a short 45 minute drive from Cape Town.
Not to be forgotten are the highly acclaimed wine estates in the Constantia Valley located in beautiful surroundings with stunning mountain backdrops.
The Constantia Valley boasts some of the oldest estates and homesteads along with award winning wines.
Then there is the forgotten winelands…the outer winelands we call them.
Here the crowds are much less, the scenery is really beautiful, with valleys of vineyards, surrounded by majestic mountains.
We custom design tours from day tours to multiple days into these area which are designed to travel at your pace, so you can really maximize your stay here.
Cape Town is also home to many old farm style food markets, some of which are also art and craft markets, a enjoyable combination held in varied locations across the city of Cape Town.
As well there there is a large old fashioned antique/flea market as well located close to a nice beach area
Leisurely browse stalls as the smells entice you, choose something scrumptious to take home or find a seat in the shade and munch right there.
Enjoy farm-style breakfasts, fresh bread, local olives and olive oil.
We can combine these food markets with other day tours This a good way to mingle and meet locals, and to experience the local tastes/products.
