Cape Town and the Cape Winelands

Cape Town

Laid out below the magnificent Table Mountain and anchored by a stunning coastline, sophisticated and multi-cultural Cape Town has much to offer visitors, and foodies particularly delight in the culinary bounty: gorgeous seafood, wild game and the region’s signature Cape Malay cuisine – and the history behind it all. Your hotel is the exclusive Cape Grace which sits beneath Table Mountain on a private quay at the Victoria & Albert Waterfront. A working harbor is to one side and an international marina on the other.

Cape Winelands

Mountains rising above lush vine-covered valleys and verdant farmlands provide a dramatic backdrop to the oak lined streets of the Winelands’ historic towns of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. It is here in Franschhoek where the French Huguenots first made wine in South Africa. Today, the industry is booming and the Stellenbosch wine route offers hundreds of wineries and an opportunity to sample stunning wines – accompanied by panoramic views. Not just for oenophiles, the Winelands are a mecca for foodies as well. Your stay will be in the charming village of Franschhoek, widely considered to be South Africa’s culinary capital – and heart.
