Tuesday 6th October 2020 – Franschhoek 10h30 – after a leisurely breakfast we depart on a day of wine experiences.

Our first stop is La Bri one of the oldest Huguenot-based farms in South Africa and an integral part of history and culture. The original approximately 50 hectares of land of La Bri was originally granted in October 1694 to Jacques (Jacob) de Villiers. L’Abri is French for “refuge”, a perfect name for the property, which provided the Huguenot with a home after fleeing in the imposing Olifantshoek, the Elephant Angle, as Franschhoek Tal was known at that time. Jaques was a very successful farmer and bought in 1717 from his brother Abraham Boschendal, where he lived until his death in 1735. The present manor house of La Bri was probably built between 1813 and 1862 by Pieter Eduard Jr. It has a large gable with straight sides, typical of the last stages of . La Bri was acquired in 1997 by Robin Hamilton, the current owner. Today, La Bri is a bustling boutique winery.

La Bri produces estate wines, which means that under the label La Bri only wines are sold, which are grown on the estate and thereby represent the terroir. The wine labels are characterised by their floral patterns, which are reflected in the wine aromas. Wines and varieties which are not grown on La Bri and are purchased from neighbouring wineries, e.g., Semillon or Rousanne, are sold under the label Double Door, which symbolises the two ways, from the outside into the winery and going out from the winery.

Irene Waller (de Fleuriot) has been the manager and winemaker of the winery for many years and passionately creates wines in a signature style. She does not let anything out of sight and is the first and the last on the winery at the harvest. She was originally a teacher, studied and practiced viticulture and oenology in Australia and Stellenbosch and came to La Bri after many years working with Graham Beck, from where she also brought her passion for the MCC. Since 2008, the wines of La Bri are produced in the state-of-the-art new wine cellar. It has a unique circular structure and the process of wine production is determined by gravity in order to avoid the use of pumps. This allows Irene Waller and her team to produce a variety of high quality and elegant wines in small quantities. To protect and preserve the freshness of the fruits, all the are hand-picked and stored overnight in a cold room. Then they are hoisted in a satellite tank and dumped in fermentation tanks. A pneumatic punch-down system allows continuous skin-contact with the fermenting juice, which in turn allows maximum colour extraction. Automatic temperature controls integrated in the tanks ensure ideal fermentation temperatures.

A CELLAR TOUR AND MEETING WITH IRENE WALLER FOLLOWED BY A WINE & CHOCOLATE TASTING HAS BEEN REQUESTED – CONFIRMATION PENDING - SHOULD THIS BE UNAVAILABLE AND ALTERNATIVE WILL BE PROVIDED

Friday 9th October 2020 – Paarl After breakfast we drive to the Fairview Estate. Founded in 1693 Fairview fell into the hands of an immigrant from Lithuania, the young Charles Back I in 1902. With a strong work ethic and passion for wine, he soon built up a booming wine export business. Upon his death in 1955, he bequeathed a wine farm to each of his two sons, in whom he’d also instilled a spirit of endeavour. Cyril Back received Fairview, where he lived with his wife Beryl. Together, they successfully bottled their own wine for the first time in 1974, initiating the Cape’s first public wine auction as a vehicle to market the fledgling Fairview wines. Their son, Charles Back II, started farming with Cyril in 1978, upon completion of his oenological training at Elsenburg. In 1995, Charles Back II took over full responsibility for the farm upon his father’s passing.

From the start, Charles wanted to do things differently – introducing Mediterranean grapes such as Viognier, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Petite Sirah to the Cape. He also began to make artisanal cheese – a business that has gone on to become every bit as prestigious and successful as wine. In 2014, when Charles received the International Wine Challenge Lifetime Achievement, in his characteristic humility, he expressed “But I have barely begun to achieve what I want to achieve!”.

Eager to explore a wider range of wines using grapes grown in optimal conditions, Charles Back abandoned the estate wine concept in the 1980s, choosing rather to “go where the terroir is”. Today, Fairview is one of the few farms that proudly own all of their own vineyards, with land in Paarl, Darling, Swartland and Stellenbosch. Charles has also always been an advocate of social development in the Cape. Under Apartheid, he was one of a number of producers who campaigned for and implemented better conditions for farm workers and in 1997, he established the Fair Valley Worker’s Association, which gave his employees a chance to farm their own land.

Fairview is committed to the preservation of the local environment. With the support of Cape Nature, they continually remove harmful alien vegetation present on the farm. Since 2010, they have proudly carried the Integrity & Sustainability seal that certifies farming production is done in an environmentally friendly way, they are members of the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) and Biodiversity in Wine (BWI) initiatives. The cheese factory was also proudly recognised by The Carbon Protocol of South Africa as the first Carbon Neutral Cheesery on the African continent.

We will enjoy the Beryl Back Master Tasting with tasting options and recommendations depending on season, trend and vintage releases. To top the experience off, each Master Tasting comes with carefully paired Fairview cheese, freshly baked artisanal bread and our farm-made olive oil. The tasting includes 8 wines.

We head back into Paarl, allowing for a lunch stop before heading to the KWV.

Occupying over 22 hectares, the KWV cellar complex in Paarl is one of the largest in the world. The famous Cathedral Cellar, superb wines and brandies, and fascinating history provide you with a lasting memory of the people, stories and products that have established KWV as one of the world’s most admired wine brands. We will visit the magnificent Cathedral cellar, followed by a tasting of 2 white wines, 2 red wines, 1 sweet wine and a brandy.

The hotel is a short distance from KWV.

Sunday 11th October 2020 – Cape Town After a leisurely breakfast we leave Paarl to travel to Cape Town. The city began as a Dutch way station in the 16th century. Protecting and refreshing weary sailors as they passed the tip of Africa. It grew steadily through the centuries, fed on a diet of French settlers, Indonesian and Madagascan slaves and English colonists. A thriving farming and wine making industry was established thanks to the rich, fertile soils of the Cape. Today this rich history comes together in distinctive architecture and a unique local culture.

The fine old buildings of the Cape Town represent a journey through the centuries. You can see influences from the many people that have made Cape Town their home over the years. The was built in 1666 by the to protect the replenishment station and is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa. For many years it was centre for official life in Cape Town and is still the main headquarters for the South African military in the city.

A short distance from the Castle, across from the , you can see the City Hall, a mock baroque building constructed in 1905. Much of the building’s fixtures and fittings were imported from Europe. As we follow the city’s main road, , we will see St. George’s Cathedral, the Anglican Diocese of Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Also keep your eyes out for the Company Gardens, which were established in 1652 by the Dutch Settlers to re-provision passing ships. Today the garden is a welcome green oasis in the middle of the city.

Drive through the vibrant Malay Quarter (also known as the Bo-Kaap which means “Above Cape” due to it being up against the slopes of ). In the early 18th century, a multitude of slaves from Java, Ceylon and other Far Eastern regions were brought to Cape Town. After slavery was eliminated, their descendants, known as the Cape Malays, settled here. The first mosque in the Cape was built here and is still in use today; albeit much altered. The Bo-Kaap became an exclusive residential area for Cape Muslims during the Apartheid years. And it remained one of a handful of few working-class neighbourhoods that were still close to city centres in the country.

We arrive at the lower aerial cable way station, positioned about half way up the iconic Table Mountain’s lower slopes. The aerial cableway offers a fun and quick way to get to the top. Rotating cable cars give visitors a fantastic 360 ̊view as you ascend to over 1,000 metres above sea level. (Ticket included) It is impossible to picture Cape Town without the iconic shape of Table Mountain in the background.

A flat plateau gives this mountain its distinctive shape and when the conditions are right a mass of cloud streams over the edge, giving the mountain its table cloth. Legend has it that the “table cloth” is the result of a smoking contest and a local pirate known as Van Hunks. The mountain lies at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that extends throughout the Cape Peninsula like a spine all the way to . The upper part of the mountain consists of hard-wearing sandstone, which is how its characteristic cliffs were formed. Table Mountain is privileged to have the smallest and richest floral kingdom in the entire world. You can find over 1,470 species throughout the Table Mountain National Park.

We will have lunch in the restaurant at the summit of Table Mountain before having some time to explore the top of the mountain. You can wander across well marked paths to see views from all sides of the plateau. Look out for the unique cape vegetation or enjoy the antics of the rock dassies as they stretch out in the sun. These little creatures are the elephants’ closest living relative! You can also sit back and just enjoy the view, considered one of the best in the whole of Africa.

After exploring the flat topped mountain, we meet at the restaurant for coffee and cake before returning to the coach via another ride in the rotating cable car.

Monday 12th October 2020 – Cape Town A short drive from the hotel finds us at Estate. Described as one of the world’s most beautiful vineyards, Klein Constantia is set amidst ancient trees and lush greenery on the upper foothills of the , with superb views across the Constantia Valley and . The 146-hectare wine estate originally formed part of “Constantia”, a vast property established in 1685 by Simon van der Stel, the first governor of the Cape. This valley was chosen not only for its beauty, but also for the decomposed granite soils on its slopes, gently cooled by ocean breezes. Prized by leaders and aristocracy throughout 18th Century Europe, Constantia’s Vin de Constance was revived by Klein Constantia in 1986, reaffirming this unique natural sweet wine’s place in history. Today, Klein Constantia continues to make some of South Africa’s top wines and the world’s best dessert wine; wines that reflect the cool Constantia climate, as well as our historic tradition.

Our visit includes a 10h00 Cellar tour and walk in the vineyards of Klein Constantia followed by a tasting which includes the famous Vin de Constance. Leaving the Klein Constantia Estate we head to the Victoria & Alfred waterfront for an afternoon at leisure. The V&A Waterfront is a mixed-use development comprising residential and commercial property, hotels, retail stores, dining, leisure and entertainment facilities. Spanning 123 hectares, it’s a space where you can work, live, eat and play.

Return to the hotel to freshen up before transferring to Gold Restaurant for their dinner experience of a 14-dish tasting menu served in generous individual and shared portions. Each dish is brought to your table with country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing explained. All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegetarian or vegan substitutes.

The evening commences at 18h30 with a pre-dinner interactive djembe drumming session. The live entertainment includes praise singing to welcome you, Mali puppetry, and dancing to the rhythms of the marimba percussion and djembe drums. As community is everything in traditional African culture, at the end of the evening, all the staff voluntarily join in the festivities. It is their way of coming together as a family, to celebrate with you, and to wish you well until you we see you again.

Cape Peninsula Itinerary

The tour departs at around 09h00 from the Cape Town , which is hugged by the wide arms of Table Mountain. Cape Town’s vibrant and multicultural population is a legacy of its history as a safe-haven for passing ships and traders. A genial Mediterranean climate and the stunning natural beauty causes locals and visitors alike to fall in love with the city.

As we travel through the town you might notice the distinctive gable design on some of the buildings; this is a characteristic of Cape Dutch Architecture, inspired by the Dutch farmers who first settled in the area in the 1600 and 1700s. The road out of town takes us through the historic suburb of . Segregated as a whites-only area during the years of Apartheid, a stroll down the cosmopolitan Sea Point Promenade is a potent symbol of the unity the country now enjoys. Cruise past prime real estate with glorious coastal views.

Hout Bay is a cosy little hamlet surrounded by mountains to the North, East and West and the Ocean to the South. Home to bustling craft markets, antique shops, big wave surfers and a thriving fishing community. It is much beloved by locals, who have attempted to get it declared an independent state in the past. (Wood Bay from the ) was established in the late 1600s when the Dutch needed a great quantity of timber for building and other projects. Since then, its rural, idyllic charms have been enticing people for centuries. While visiting Hout Bay you can take a boat trip to Duiker Island, time permitting and at your own expense. Duiker Island – a favourite outing of many visitors to Hout bay, this small island is home to thousands of Cape Fur Seals and local birdlife. The boat ride out from Hout Bay lets you see the Cape Peninsula from a new perspective. Duiker Island is only 77 x 96 metres in size but is teeming with wildlife and is a renowned marine haven.

Cape Point Nature Reserve – our journey now reaches the tip of the Cape Peninsula, a dramatic view point located in an 17,750 hectare nature reserve. Looking out over the shining sea from the Cape Point Lighthouse truly makes you feel like you are standing at the edge of the world. You may also feel the brisk touch of a wind dubbed the “” for its healing powers. The rich diversity of the nature reserve, part of the Table Mountain National Park, makes it home to a stunning array of animal and plant species. Visitors can encounter buck, baboons, Cape Mountain Zebra and over 250 species of birds. The reserve is also one of the largest breeding grounds for tortoises in the world. After leaving Cape Point Nature Reserve we travel up the other side of the Cape Peninsula on our way to Simon’s Town. On a clear day you may be able to see the mountains and coastline all the way on the other side of False Bay.

Visit the Penguins at – since 1985 a colony of African Jackass penguins have made their home between the boulders and white sand of Boulders Beach and these small citizens have been charming residents and tourists ever since. Located just around the corner from Simon’s Town, the colony is best accessed via the Boulders Visitors Centre (at own expense), whose boardwalks allow you to get up close and observe the penguins in their natural habitat. Simon’s Town has been an important naval base and harbour for over two centuries and you can still see some historic naval vessels anchored just off-shore. On a visit to the town you might see the famous statue of Just Nuisance, the only dog to ever be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. The town also has a fantastic collection of restaurants and boutique stores. Picturesque drive past and .

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens – the lush and diverse Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens have gentle walking paths, inviting grass lawns and an astounding variety of indigenous plant species await you at our last stop on the tour. The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens is justifiably acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Set against the gentle lower slopes of Table Mountain it is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. Established in 1913 to conserve and exhibit the incredibly rich flora of Southern Africa, Kirstenbosch displays an enormous variety of indigenous species. You will see many great examples of unique Cape Flora as we enjoy a walking tour of the gardens. Our return to Cape Town will take us past the , the and Hospital (site of the world’s first heart transplant). We will deposit you safely, and happily, back in town.

Optional Half day Township Cultural tour is available at a cost of £30.00 per person

Township Cultural Tour itinerary

A unique experience travelling through the three South Africa’s: The birth, where it all started; Apartheid South Africa, what happened then; and the New South Africa, what is different since Nelson Mandela was released from prison.

Departing from Cape Town city centre, the first stop is in the Bo-Kaap. Here we discuss the arrival of an expedition of Dutch sailors in 1652 that proved to be a monumental turning point in the South African history. Taking a short walk along the romantic cobblestone streets between the brightly coloured homes, your tour guide explains how the framework for racial segregation was established.

The City Bowl lies in a natural amphitheatre created by Table Mountain, Lions Head, and Devils’ Peak. The vibrant city centre is still a focus of business, culture and tourism. For many centuries Cape Town has provided a sanctuary for passing ships and the city still handles much marine traffic. Passing ships and settlers have made Cape Town home to unique cultures and people.

Through the Apartheid years many people were forced to live in certain areas due to their racial profile. This has led to these areas having a distinctive culture and feel within Cape Town. It is these dynamic areas that we will explore.

Passing some of Cape Town’s landmarks, a short drive brings us to where we elaborate on the next tier in the South African story i.e. Apartheid South Africa. Once in District Six, we drive through the now decaying ruins of what once was a flourishing mixed-race community where 60,000 people lived and worked, it was demolished only to be reserved exclusively for white people.

The tour continues to Langa, the oldest Black African Township in Cape Town. Along the way we elaborate on the restrictive legislation introduced by the Apartheid regime to enforce racial segregation. On arrival in Langa, we have a photo stop at the site that commemorates the student uprising of 1976, discuss the Pass Laws and barracks built for African migrant workers. Develop a greater understanding of the Shanty Town that exploded with the massive migration of mothers and children into the cities, restoring Black dignity at the end of Apartheid.

We then close the curtains on the negatives and share with he positives and transformations in Langa ever since Nelson Mandela’s release when he convinced the nation to forgive and start the re-build of the new South Africa.
