Overview

South African wine lands are world famous, and rightly so. The wine is outstanding, the sun shines and the landscape is beautiful. This marvellous holiday combines several wine and brandy tasting sessions with short walks through vineyards, hill tops with panoramic views and stunning coastal paths. We stay in comfortable small guesthouses and hotels chosen for their historical character and locations. We start our trip in the heart of the winelands, Stellenbosch. The pretty, crisp white, gabled Dutch architecture dotted in the lush vineyards is beautiful. We will explore the photogenic town, sample the local wines and enjoy walks through vineyards before carrying on to Montagu over the Franschoek Pass to walk in the Mont Rochellen Nature Reserve.


In Barrydale we can taste the famous brandy, of the same name, before making our way to the coast to see if we can spot (seasonal) the Southern Right Whale from our base in Hermanus. The ‘Garden Route’ from here back to Cape Town is full of cliffs, beaches, walks, good coffee and excellent wines! The Cape peninsula brings us wildlife in the form of African Penguins and possible Cape Zebra, as we wind our way on foot to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Bathed in sunshine the panoramic views of the ocean and the coastal mountains are awesome. Our holiday finale is the walk up Table Mountain, followed by some time in Cape Town to appreciate the culture, food and wine of this cosmopolitan city. If you are looking for a charming walking holiday in the sunshine, enjoying some wine and food then this is the perfect choice.

The essence of the holiday is to enjoy the walks and the wine, as well as the culture and food of South Africa. The trails that we follow are undulating or reasonably flat – except of course Table Mountain. They are well-marked and sometimes stony. Our accommodation has been handpicked to ensure comfort in small, well-appointed hotels and guesthouses. We have included three wine tasting sessions and one brandy tasting, with associated visits to the cellars and vineyards. South Africa has a lovely Mediterranean climate and because of the time zone jet lag is not usually a problem flying to and from the UK.

Why KE?

This KE itinerary flies in and out of Cape Town, allowing for good prices on international flights which are direct from London. Concentrating on a small area you can focus your energy on walking and enjoy the country, rather than spend several days on long drives. 


We include 3 wine tasting visits and 1 visit to a brandy cellar.
