Food & wine tours

Every glass, perfectly paired

Good wine tastes even better with something delicious alongside it. Explore food and wine days built around pairings, long lunches and chef’s tables.

Why this tour

Wine tastes better with something on the plate. Our food and wine tours are built around the pairing — cheese and charcuterie, biltong and bubblies, multi-course estate lunches and chef's tables where each course is matched to a glass. The Winelands has become one of the world's great food destinations, and these days are the best way to eat your way through it.

We run food-led days across Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, mixing estates that do structured pairings with restaurants that have put the valley on the culinary map. Expect long lunches, generous tastings, and a day that ends happily full.

The right pick for foodies, celebrators, and anyone who'd rather taste than trek.

What makes it special

The highlights

Built around the pairing

Every stop is chosen for how its wine meets its food — structured pairings, not afterthought snacks.

Cheese to chef's table

From cheese and charcuterie boards to multi-course tasting menus with matched glasses.

Stellenbosch & Franschhoek

The two valleys that made the Cape a food destination — the estates and the restaurants together.

Long, unhurried lunches

These are slow days. Expect to sit, eat, and let the afternoon run long.
