Visitors to the world-renowned Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions will sip on some of the best wines South Africa has to offer. You’ll learn about the rich history of a winemaking culture over three hundred and fifty years old and indulge in local food and wine pairings in a region celebrated for its culinary prowess and heritage. Just an hour from Cape Town, it’s considered one of the world’s most stunning wine regions.
Sweeping vineyard, valley and mountain panoramas are par for the course here but it’s the rose and herb garden at Orangerie at Le Lude that makes the setting so fitting for high tea.
Treat yourself to the best experiences The Cape Winelands has to offer.
Many of our Delights can easily be incorporated into our Scintilla Escapes. If any of these tickle your fancy, we'll include it in your experience.
One of the most popular activities for families is trundling along the vineyards at Spier wine farm. Hop aboard your off-road segway, and glide through vines and farm plains on a guided tour, while learning about Spier’s biodynamic farming methods and wine-making techniques.
