Overview

The Cape Winelands is probably one of the most beautiful countryside in the world, with views of mountains, oceans, and vineyards. Learn about the heritage of the Constantia Winelands on our private tour and visit the 5 wine farms which originally formed part of the Simon van der Stel Constantia wine farm: Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting, Constantia Uitsig, and Steenberg. We recommend enjoying a beautiful lunch overlooking the vineyards and pairing it with some of the best wines produced in South Africa. After the wine farm and wine tasting experience, we then continue to one of ten National Botanical Gardens covering 5 of South Africa's 6 different biomes. Here you will immerse yourself in the richest flower kingdom in the world while learning about the history & natural heritage of the region you'll also enjoy the fresh air and scenic views of the garden. Get yourself photos of flowers, birds, and Mammals if you are lucky.

The scenic view at Kristenbosch is really one to remember and definitely a bucket list moment. The tour guide was amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed the garden, despite the weather. Our “guide” however was just a driver. Car was nice, he was a lovely guy & punctual, but this was not a guided tour. He drove us & dropped us.

Het was een prachtig park maar spijtig genoeg een maand te vroeg op het jaar. weinig bloemen te zien maar de tuin was prachtig aangelegd. Heel rustgevend en toch nog veel mooie foto's getrokken.
