About this experience

South Africa has been producing wine since 1659 with wine cuttings introduced to the Cape by the Dutch and French Huguenots. Many high profile to the like of Napoleon Bonaparte drunk the South African wine.
Hence, this tour of the winelands is probably the second most popular tour in Cape Town after the Cape of Good Hope tour. The Cape Winelands are looked at as one of the most beautiful countryside in the world. With dramatic, expansive vistas of mountains, vineyards and ocean. The wineries are uniquely interesting and picturesque: with rich history, stunning Cape Dutch buildings accompanied by magnificent gardens. This tour takes visitors to modern architecture buildings and world class restaurants such as Delaire Graff Estate, Tokara,..
For wine lovers, we thought to encourage them not to visit Cape Town without familliarising themselves with our beautiful South African wines and appreciate the beautifully, well looked after winelands where our grape are grown and wine isproduced.

Following French convention, the still wine is named after the farm, Haute Cabriere and the méthode classique range is named like all French champagnes, after the original owner the French Huguenot Pierre Jourdan who was granted the land in 1694. Haute Cabriere became the first winery in South Africa to specialize in Méthode Classique produced exclusively from two noble cultivars of the Champagne region of France - chardonnay and pinto noir. We selected this winery for the view and allow visitors to test the MCC(Méthode Cap Classique/Campaign.
