Description
We have chosen one of our most popular day tours and combined it with the ultimate Winelands experience. Table Mountain & Robben Island will be on day one with the next two days spent meandering through the Cape Winelands. Interestingly enough, there is a link between the Winelands and Nelson Mandela, of his total number of years in prison, he spent 18 of them on Robben Island, then the remaining time at Pollsmoor Prison and finally Victor Verster Prison, now named the Groot Drakenstein Prison, near Franschhoek. We will take you to the very spot that Nelson Mandela became a free man after 27 years behind bars! On this tour you will sample some really good wine at some of the best wine estates in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and spend a night in the heart of wine country!
3 DAY TABLE MOUNTAIN, ROBBEN ISLAND & WINE ITINERARY
Day 1
TABLE MOUNTAIN & ROBBEN ISLAND
On this day we combine two of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks in a Full Day experience that will be both spectacular and also emotional! When you visit the cell that Nelson Mandela lived in for 18 years of his 27 year incarceration, tears have been known to flow. The day is divided into two parts, Table Mountain in the morning and then Robben Island in the afternoon. This is because weather can be a factor; normally the conditions are more favorable for the mountain in the mornings! Lunch will be at the V & A Waterfront. When you return from the Island we make our way into the winelands arriving early evening.
OVERNIGHT | STELLENBOSCH
Day 2
PRIVATE CAPE WINELANDS TOUR
Waking up in the Winelands is something special. You are able to chill a little before you are collected for the start of your winelands experience. On this day you will sample wines in the Franschhoek and Paarl regions with plenty of scenic places as well. Your guide will share interesting facts about the winelands with you and this will add to the overall experience. We will show you the very place from where Nelson Mandela became a free man! The Cape Wine route was the first commercial wine route in the world and today it is regarded as the best! Lunch will be enjoyed at Boschendal Wine Estate as a picnic lunch or in Franschhoek at one of their fine restaurants along the route.
OVERNIGHT | STELLENBOSCH
Day 3
PRIVATE CAPE WINELANDS TOUR
After a great breakfast at your country hotel we depart on the next leg of our Winelands adventure where we will visit one of the oldest wine farms in the region with 8 year old wines available for tasting! We then travel towards the coast visiting more exquisite wine farms in the Somerset West and Helderberg region. Lunch will be enjoyed at Vergelegen Estate, which is of historical significance, and a visit to the Manor House is a must! We will then take you to the seaside town of Gordon’s Bay and the Strand before we start our returning journey to Cape Town arriving back in the early evening.
