Cape Town & Winelands

Cape Town is consistently ranked among the most beautiful cities in the world, and it's easy to see why. Table Mountain forms a dramatic flat-topped backdrop to a vibrant waterfront city ringed by pristine beaches and flanked by historic wine estates that have produced world-class vintages for over 350 years.

The Cape Peninsula drive is one of the world's great scenic routes — winding from the city through the fishing village of Hout Bay, along the dramatic Chapman's Peak Drive, past the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, to the windswept cliffs of Cape Point where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.

The Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions, just 45 minutes from the city, offer a concentration of wine estates that rivals Napa or Bordeaux. The combination of Cape Dutch architecture, mountain scenery, and outstanding food and wine makes the Winelands an essential addition to any South African itinerary.
