What to expect
We start in the historical town of Stellenbosch is our first stop as we delve into the culture rich, foodie haven and vibrant streets. A cup of perfectly brewed local coffee will kick start your day, coupled with something sweet or savory before we head for the mountains.
Thelema Vineyards or Keermont Vineyards : A celebration of smaller vineyards driven by passion, honesty and quality. Our first stop is on the Eastern side of Stellenbosch at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains. This is a special location tucked away in the most northern corner of Paradyskloof (Paradise Valley). Pockets of special vines produce a superlative and memorable first tasting.
Oldenberg Mountain Vineyards: These breath-taking views set the tone for an unforgettable experience – with the focus on letting our guests understand the sense of place and connect truly with the wines. I struggle to believe there is a better setting to taste wine anywhere in the winelands.
Lunch then takes place at either the Boschendal Farm Deli Restaurant
The final wine tasting destination is at a boutique, family owned vineyard called Mitres Edge where we are able to host the tasting in their manor house or private underground wine cellar. She often hosts the tasting herself too!
