Luxe Winemaker Tour In The Cape Winelands Of South Africa

Mon, March 31, 2025 (Departure Date)

Cost: $6930 (discount if booked by 12/1/2024

A wine-lovers tour of South Africa at a perfect time of year. Late summer temperatures and sunny skies in Cape Town are a perfect tonic after a long winter. We’ll visit some of the country’s best wine producers, hang out with the winemakers, taste new wines in the cellar, eat at some exceptional places, and experience nature up close on an all-inclusive safari at game and nature reserve!


The best way to experience the romance of South Africa's Winelands is to immerse yourself in the culture of winemaking. With an insider's experience in the cellar, on the vineyard, and at the table with the winemakers. 



"After years in the wine industry, I created this wine tour because it’s the one I would want to go on. A hand-selected group of wine lovers travels to Cape Town to enjoy the beauty of the South African countryside, good food, and wine in luxurious surroundings. A bespoke travel and wine experience that explores areas of the wine world unexplored by most tourists.


Our tours give access to the folks behind the juice, those who passionately work the land, and understand the terroir. At a certain point, if you’ve been to one tasting room, you’ve been to a hundred. But sitting down with the winemakers and asking them why they love the grapes they grow on the land and soil that surrounds them gives guests a deep understanding of these unique wines that are exclusively found here. Our tours offer a one-of-a-kind experience that can’t be found anywhere else." - host, Tania Van Pelt


About the Tour

A wine-lovers tour of South Africa at a perfect time of year. Late summer temperatures and sunny skies in Cape Town are a perfect tonic after a long winter. For some of us, April usually means more snow, more cold, more ennui. What better time to fly across the oceans to South Africa's Cape Winelands? We’ll visit some of the country’s best wine producers, hang out with the winemakers, taste new wines in the cellar, eat at some exceptional places, and experience nature up close on an all-inclusive safari at game and nature reserve. 


This tour is hosted by Tania Van Pelt, owner of Hi-Lo Beverage in Denver, CO. 


You will visit wine regions on the Western Cape of South Africa that aren't usually featured on a typical tour of South Africa. We'll go to some of the more interesting and stunning areas of the Winelands. This tour includes 10 nights of luxury accommodations, most meals, wine of course, and all transportation.
