Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Jordan Wine Estate, Stellenbosch Kloof Rd Vlottenburg, Stellenbosch 7604 South Africa

Start with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Cape Town. Be transported to a hidden wine wonderland, tucked away in the Stellenbosch Kloof Valley. Discover the rich history of this area and get to sample the internationally acclaimed wines and brandy that are produced in this quiet little wine haven. 

Get off the beaten track and redefine your idea of a safari while experiencing the synergy of soul and soil on a 4x4 safari-style wine drive at Jordan Wine Estate. You won’t see the Big 5, but be prepared to feast on award-winning big wines, stopping at 360-degree vantage points to catch views of False Bay and Table Mountain in the distance. Your wine guide will let you experience the terroir and geology of the grounds whilst tasting a selection of the estate's best, drinking in the Stellenbosch and Table Mountain views paired with interesting wine tasting trivia. Head to the working cellar for an insider view of how grapes are processed and wines produced, from the large fermentation tanks to the endless rows of stacked oak barrels. This is followed by an opportunity to sample more wine in the barrel cellar or on the sun-soaked terrace. 

Then it's time to kick back for a sensational lunch (own expense) in the Winelands; choose from fine-dining at the prestigious Jordan Restaurant (advance reservation essential) or freshly baked goods from the bakery. 

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: DeMorgenzon Winery, Stellenboschkloof Road Vlottenburg, Stellenbosch 7600 South Africa

Waltz your way to the next tasting stop at DeMorgenzon’s marvellously musically influenced vines. The owners of this estate believe that playing baroque 24/7 from large speakers in the vineyards has a romantically delicious effect on the grapes, and the wine's depth of flavour certainly rings true, consistently winning multiple international awards. Sample the Maestro and exclusive reserve wines as you're lulled by the baroque music drifting through the tasting room and estate. Follow the music on a whimsical walk behind the Cape Dutch buildings to enjoy the Reserve Syrah from the vineyard block where it was harvested. 

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Van Ryn's Distillery, Van Ryn Road, Stellenbosch 7604 South Africa

Finally, Van Ryn’s internationally acclaimed brandy is the perfect way to end the day on a high note, pairing decadent confectionary bites with reserve acclaimed pot still brandies. Sample 12, 15 and 20-year-old brandies, paired to perfection with mouth-watering fruity or chocolate infused dessert delights. 

Return to the Mother City by late afternoon as you bid farewell to the Winelands, satiated after a day full of tasting classics. 

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
