ITINERARY

You are met upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport and transferred to your hotel. Set amidst majestic mountains and surrounded by pristine white beaches, Cape Town is one of the world's most picturesque tourist destinations and most beautiful cities in the world. Spend your afternoon at leisure. We strongly recommend visiting one of the many delightful restaurants in the area.

• Day 2 − Cape Peninsula tour

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, followed by a full−day privately guided Cape Peninsula tour beginning at 9:00 this morning. Embark on an unforgettable drive via the 12 Apostles and Hout Bay, as well as Chapmans Peak (dependent on the road being open). The 9km route of Chapman's Peak Drive winds its way between Noordhoek and Hout Bay, offering stunning 180° views over the ocean and mountains with Hout Bay in the distance. It is one of the most spectacular marine drives anywhere in the world.

Continue to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, established in 1939 to protect 7750 hectares of indigenous flora and fauna. The reserve comes to an end at majestic Cape Point. Situated at the junction of two of earth's most contrasting water masses − the cold Benguela current on the West Coast and the warm Agulhas current on the East Coast, the Cape of Good Hope is popularly perceived as the meeting point of the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. Take the funicular to the vantage point from where you are able to witness the "meeting of the two oceans".

Traverse the historic naval base of Simon's Town where you have the opportunity to visit a colony of African Penguins in their natural environment at Boulders Beach. Although set in the midst of a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 in recent years.

Lunch is served at one of the many restaurants in the Simon's Town area. Afterwards, return to Cape Town and visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which are world renowned for the beauty and diversity of Cape flora they display. Return to your hotel this afternoon and spend the rest of your day at leisure. (B, L)

• Day 3 − The secret wine valley of the Cape

Check out of your hotel this morning after breakfast and head to Somerset West for a wine and olive tasting at Morgenster Estate. Morgenster Estate specializes in three Bordeaux red wine cultivars and their forte is blending. Morgenster's olive farm was named "Mill of the Year 2007," the highest possible accolade for olive producers, and its extra virgin olive oil was the first South African olive oil to receive the prestigious L'Orciolo d'Oro award.

Continue the journey from Somerset West to Franschhoek, home to Cabrière wine farm which has been a part of the Franschhoek Wine Valley fabric for over 300 years. In 1982, with a pioneering legacy in mind, the vineyards were

1 replanted in the tradition of the Champagne. Its celebrated restaurant, Haute Cabrière, enhances the Cabrière experience. Here award−winning dishes are expertly paired with each wine and méthode champenoise, showing off the ultimate marriage between food and wine.

After lunch at Haute Cabriere, transfer from Franschhoek to Stellenbosch, where your first stop is the Spier Wine Welcome Centre. This is the heart of Spier Wines, where the award−winning wines are informally tasted and sold. Spier has also made land available to a group of hand−raised cheetahs in the care of the Cheetah Outreach Programme. Learn more about these incredible cats from a distance, or get up close and personal as you step inside an enclosure. Check in to your hotel, and unwind after your busy day. (B, L)

• Day 4 − Rolling hills of Darling

After breakfast in the heart of the Cape Winelands, check out of your hotel and enjoy a scenic 1.5 hour drive to Darling, where you may spend the entire day visiting the region's charming wine farms. Ormonde Private Cellar is situated on the West Coast of South Africa, where the rugged Darling hills roll and fall along the contours of an ancient granite intrusion. The foggy climate blesses the vineyards here with coolness and moisture. Most of the vineyards are trellised, which allows the cool breezes to circulate better and limit wind damage.

Continue onwards to Cloof Wine Estate, known for the unique style and quality of wines grown from bush vines. Under the local climate conditions, bush vines are necessary as they provide a canopy which shades the grapes from direct sunlight. The smaller crop results in smaller berries with thicker skins, and much more concentrated flavors. Later today, visit Groote Post, a historic 18th century farm on the Cape's West Coast where winemaking traditions have been revived by the Pentz family. Enjoy lunch at Hilda's Kitchen, which is currently housed in the historical Manor House on Groote Post farm and dates back to 1790. The restaurant serves modern country cuisine to the very highest standard and has been acclaimed as the best new restaurant on the West Coast. Check in to your hotel in Darling. (B, L)

Bid farewell to Darling this morning after breakfast as you check out of the hotel and drive to Riebeek Kasteel (approximately 1 hour drive). Tour the Olive Boutique and immerse yourself in its wide variety of olive and olive related products, from storing, preserving and cooking to eating and serving. Some products found at The Olive Boutique are extra virgin olive oil, Calamata olives in blueberry dressing, garlic and rosemary and herbs and brine, green Manzanilla olives in fresh lime juice and vinegar, olive tapenade, and olive bread. The Olive Boutique also makes olive−based cosmetics and body products.

Continue from The Olive Boutique through rolling farmlands to the welcoming gates of Kloovenburg for an olive and wine tasting. Kloovenburg stretches along the lower contours of Kasteel Mountain where the north−easterly slopes have proved ideal for the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon cultivars. In Kloovenburg's cool quiet cellar they offer award−winning wines, olives and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil for tasting.

Twee Jonge Gezellen is the oldest family farm in the pioneer district of Tulbagh and the second oldest family−owned wine estate in South Africa. The pioneering spirit, handed down from generation to generation, led to the planting of the first vines on the estate in 1710. As with most of the other major producers in the valley, the emphasis here lies in white varieties, the majority of the vineyard planted to Muscats (de Frontignac and d'Alexandrie). However Semillon and Riesling are also grown. Some 15 varieties are planted at Twee Jonge Gezellen by Nicky Krone, a pioneer of night time harvesting in South Africa.

Today's lunch is served in the gardens of Rijk's Private Cellar and Country Hotel. After your fabulous wine and olive tasting adventures, check in to your hotel and relax for the rest of the day, admiring the sweeping views of vineyards and the majestic Mountains. (B, L)

Transfer by road from Citrusdal to (approximately 2 hour drive). Enjoy wine tasting at the following wine estates, time permitting.

Seal Breeze Wines are nestled on the banks of the Olifants River, where it flows into the diamond rich ocean of the South African West Coast. The mild climate, dominated by misty mornings, sunny days and prevailing south−westerly sea breeze, is perfect for growing top quality grapes. Joan Wiggins is a well−known wine maker of Seal Breeze wines in . As well as the annual accolades she received for her wines, she has also been awarded the Producer Winemaker of the Year trophy for the Olifants River region/area in 2006 and 2009.

One of South Africa's latest and best kept secrets of the vine lies waiting for you at Wilgenhof Wines in Vredendal. If it's red, unique and exclusive, you've come to the right place. Experience the warmth and hospitality of your hosts Gideon and Vere Van Zyl as they pamper you at Wilgenhof's appealing and distinctive wine tasting boutique where you can enjoy the exclusive wines of Wilgenhof.

Your next stop is at Lutzville Cape Diamond Vineyards, where the Atlantic Ocean's bracing Benguela current brings cool breezes to create perfect conditions for our brilliant, multi−faceted fine wines. The area has been blessed with ideal soils for producing fine wines: much sought−after gravelly Karoo type soils cover the slopes, and sandy, alluvial soils lie closer to the river. These combine with the meandering nooks and crannies of the twisting Olifants River, to form micro−climates which can be exploited for the special needs of individual grape varietals.

Check in to your hotel upon arrival in Vredendal. Dinner is served at Paiter's Grill Restaurant, a large country steakhouse where meat reigns supreme. Marvelous steaks, superb ribs, and fresh fish are among their specialities. (B, D)

• Day 8 − Visit world−class wine cellars

Start your day breakfast at the hotel and a visit to Stellar Organic Winery (closed Saturdays and Sundays). South Africa's largest producer of fine organic wines processes just over 4500 tons of organic grapes for the South African and export markets. Well−known for its innovative approach, Stellar has achieved a number of "firsts" in the wine industry. It was the first organic winemaking operation in the world to gain the coveted Fairtrade certification and the first cellar in Africa to produce commercially viable no−sulphur−added wines.

Continue from Stellar Organic Winery to Wine Cellar, which lies at the foot of the Matzikama Mountains on the banks of the beautiful wine producing Olifants River valley. Klawer's aim is to produce top quality wines through the limited production of cultivars such as Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage. The Klawer wines include a comprehensive variety of dry whites and reds, as well as sparkling wine, semi−sweet, Late Harvest, Special Late Harvest and dessert wines.

Enjoy lunch at Klawer Wine Cellar before departing for Stoumann's Winery in the fertile Olifants River Valley. They strive to produce quality wines in small quantities. In cooperation with Nature Conservation, the family is dedicated to the protection and resettlement of the endangered geometric tortoise of Namaqualand, the "suurpootjie". Just as the tortoise is known for its gradual progress and adaptation, the Stoumann's flagship, Vin de la Tortue, is produced by following the same production methods which have withstood the test of time.

Today's last stop is at Fryer's Cove Vineyards, located just 820 meters from the Atlantic Ocean in Strandfontein and therefore benefiting from its cool ocean breeze. The vineyards are divided into Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Merlot. The outstanding flavour components in the wines are achieved by the drawn out ripening period of the grapes, which is due to the area's cool climate and adequate sunshine. Return to your hotel later this afternoon and spend the evening at

3 leisure. (B, L, D)

• Day 9 − Festive lunch en route to Cape Town

Check out of the hotel this morning after breakfast and embark on a scenic 3.5 hour drive to for a leisurely lunch experience at Die Strandloper.

To the accompaniment of live traditional guitar music, meals are served in individual courses extending over a leisurely three to four hour period. The central focus is an open braai area where everything from black mussels in wine to "really strong" coffee takes its turn. Traditional treats include paella potjie rich in calamari, angel fish, grilled haarders, snoek with sweet or steamed potato, and waterblommertjie bredie.

After lunch, complete the road journey from Langebaan to Cape Town, an approximate 2 hour trip. Check in to your hotel in Cape Town and relax at the hotel. We recommend visiting one of the many restaurants in the region for dinner. (B, L)
