Vineyards in the Swartland, Riebeek Valley, coastal regions and Olifants River Valley not only produce a great selection of well-priced wines, but are situated in areas that are both intensely interesting in themselves and produce all kinds of other delicious things.

I would definitely recommend that anyone going to the Winelands takes a personal VIP wine tasting tour. Many of the personal multiday wine tasting tours provide you with the option of making a highly tailored itinerary that will incorporate your every individual preference. Whether you want to enjoy private, delectable lunches and picnics at exclusive wine estates and talk with the masters of winemaking themselves, or visit some of the most prestigious Winelands estates, VIP wine tasting tours will satisfy your every desire. Because some of the estates are by-appointment only, an intimate wine tasting tour allows you to visit some of the most exclusive estates throughout the Winelands. One such estate, The De Toren estate, is open by appointment only and is a rare treat to anyone’s itinerary because the winemaker uses the traditional way of making wine—using basket presses instead of pumping the wine. Visitors on their personal Cape Winelands tour are able to meet De Toren’s winemaker and enjoy a private tour and tasting. Enjoy, Sandy The Winelands of South Africa are stunning as you say.

Excellent wines, amazing food, terrific people and absolutely stunning scenery. The Western Cape is definitely one of my favourite holiday destinations in the world. If you haven't been there, it should be on your list of 'must-see' places. Highly recommended! Cheers, Keith These regions are truly breathtaking.
