A great combination for those short on time looking for a city break abroad. Spend some time in Cape Town with a few nights in the winelands, of course we can add on some time on safari or along the garden route as our itineraries are all tailor made.
On this 'escape to the Cape' holiday you can explore Cape Town's historical city centre with its vibrant mix of cultures, see Cape Point Nature Reserve where two oceans meet, penguin spot on Boulders Beach or simply enjoy the sun setting over the ocean from the Camps Bay beach. Then set off on a tour of the Winelands. Explore the nearby gourmet haven of Franschhoek or off-the-beaten-track, laid-back towns like Paarl and Robertson.

Have lunch at one of the many wine estates and take advantage of the many opportunities to sample the fine wines of the area, cheese farms and even olive stores. Do visit the nearby oak lined historical cobbled streets of the University town of Stellenbosch and less known wine land towns of Paarl, Wellington and Riebeek Kasteel to the north.
