OVERVIEW

Stroll the meandering paths of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and enjoy a tasting of premier South African wines at an estate within the Constantia wine route. The garden nestles against the slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain and the setting couldn’t be more beautiful. Only plants indigenous to South Africa grow there and the thousands of species are grouped by common characteristics. Medicinal plants are clustered together, another sub-garden is devoted to plants from the Western Cape and shade-loving plants are featured in the Dell. You will then follow the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest wine route into the suburb of Constantia for a sampling of its characteristic wines. Wineries thrive in the surrounding fertile valley, and you will discover much about their histories while savoring reds and whites that best represent the terroir. Afterwards, you will see a different side of the gorgeous countryside by traveling through Hout Bay and Camps Bay.
