The tour will visit the town of Paarl which serves one of the best wine-producing areas in the Cape, and Wellington which lies at the foot of the Drakenstein Mountains and is the center of the dried fruit industry.
You will be driven through the Bainskloof Mountain Pass which offers many amazing scenic views whilst the Breede River Valley on the other side is the main area for growing grapes for export in the country.
The second mountain pass we travel through is the Du Toit’s Kloof Pass which is rich with indigenous mountain flora. At the summit, we have a spectacular view of the Cape with Table Mountain in the distance. We travel next through the Franschhoek Valley, arguably one of the most beautiful valleys in the world, where wine farms still bear original French names as do their wines.
The winding Franschhoek Pass offers striking views of the valley. Further along, you will travel through the apple orchards of Grabouw where the famous Cape Apples originate from. After a visit to the Apple Museum, we return to Cape Town via Sir Lowry’s Pass where we have a full view of False Bay, the Peninsula, and Cape Point.
This is a truly spectacular tour and should be on everyone’s ‘must do’ list!
