Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Babylonstoren, R45 Road between Paarl and Franscchoek between Paarl and Franschhoek, Paarl 7670 South Africa
Meet your guide at your accommodation in Cape Town, then set off in an air-conditioned minivan to begin your full-day tour of the Stellenbosch Winelands.
Soak up the views on a scenic drive through Stellenbosch’s historical centre to reach Babylonstoren, a Cape Dutch wine farm surrounded by vineyards, orchards and the dramatic mountains of the Drakenstein Valley. Experience the simple daily rhythm of a working farm. Spanning over eight acres, all of the edible varieties in the garden are grown as biologically as possible, supplying a remarkable organic Green House Deli and farm restaurant - foodie heaven. Enjoy meandering walks along this exceptionally well–preserved werf (garden grounds) dating from 1690, inspired by the Company Gardens of the Cape and the mythical garden of Babylon.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Marianne Wine Estate, Valley Road off R44 Klapmuts, Stellenbosch 7600 South Africa
This is followed by "biltong" (cured meat) and wine pairing at a bustling winery, located in the heart of South Africa’s oldest and most renowned wine route. This unique pairing of premium wines with specially selected cured and dried meats is a true celebration of our local heritage. Tasting notes may include Springbok, Beef, Ostrich cured meats paired with Pinotage, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Dorpstraat Stellenbosch, 102 Dorp St, Stellenbosch Central, Stellenbosch, 7600, South Africa
Subject to your preference, free time for lunch will be offered in the centre of Stellenbosch or a nearby wine estate restaurant (lunch is at your own expense).
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Clos Malverne Wine Farm, Devon Valley Rd, Stellenbosch, 7600, South Africa
Get ready for an innovative taste combination; pairing wine and homemade artisan ice cream in breathtaking green Devon Valley, renowned for its award-winning Cape Blends. The head chef develops the flavours and aromas each season to get a great match. Sample some of the delights on offer, including Passion Fruit and White Chocolate ice-cream matched with Sauvignon Blanc; Methode Cap Classique paired with a delectable Chilly Strawberry and reduced Balsamic ice-cream; Pinotage paired with Peppermint Dark Chocolate ice-cream (ice cream or soup pairing styles and flavours are seasonal, and may differ from suggested guideline).
On that sweet ending, you'll follow the sun and turn back to Cape Town.
Your full-day tour then concludes in the late evening with a drop-off back at your Cape Town hotel.
Please note: The wine estates visited are subject to change without notice on the day of your tour. ClosMalvern ice-cream pairing is not available during June/July period but an alternative option will then be offered.

Amazing day! Our guide Andrew, is super friendly and informative. He's more than happy to show you how to taste the wines and even recommended a couple of bottles for us to buy on the day! We went to 3 wineries and had an amazing lunch just outside of Stellenbosch. The wine tasting with biltong pairing was a highlight, however we ended the day at Ernie Els which has incredible views of the winelands. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. This is a must for any Cape Town trip!!
