PRICE: $58
per person

 

Our Stellenbosch Wine Walk begins at Tokara, where the first glimpse of the valley sets the tone for what lies ahead, one of vineyards sweeping across the slopes, the scent of olives in the air, and sparkling wine in hand. Here, we celebrate the moment the valley opens up, inviting us into its stories. As we walk through Tokara’s iconic vineyards and olive groves, we uncover the creative spirit that transformed Stellenbosch into one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions. Each sip reveals the artistry and passion of its winemakers, while our guide shares the tales of visionaries who shaped this land and crafted its legacy.
The walk is curated for those who want to experience wine beyond the glass. Tastings are personalised to each guest’s palate, highlighting varietals that excite and inspire, whether elegant whites or bold reds, or méthode cap classique. Leaving Tokara, we step onto quiet vineyard paths shaded by mature oaks and framed by panoramic views. The path itself becomes part of the story: a journey through fynbos-scented air, rolling hills, and the ever-present grandeur of the mountains.
At Thelema, the mood shifts. This mountain vineyard is famed for its robust reds, dramatic scenery, and the deep history that flows through every barrel. Here we taste wines once served at Nelson Mandela’s presidential inauguration, an experience that connects us directly to South Africa’s modern heritage. The tasting is intimate, the storytelling rich, and the wines exceptional. As we stand among the vines, surrounded by mountain silence, the connection between land, craft, and culture becomes tangible.
From Thelema, the trail descends through hidden paths toward Zorgvliet, a property that feels timeless. Its classic Cape Dutch architecture, ancient oaks, and serene vineyards carry the quiet dignity of a bygone era. Along the way, we pause for reflection, taking in the textures and colors of the valley. The walk unfolds at an unhurried pace, with each step offering a new vista or moment of stillness.
At Zorgvliet, we taste elegant wines that speak of the estate’s deep roots and refined tradition. The setting is calm and contemplative, allowing space for connection with the land, the people, and the journey itself. By this point, guests often remark that the experience feels less like a tour and more like a pilgrimage through one of the world’s great wine landscapes.

The Stellenbosch Wine Walk is more than tastings, it’s an immersion into the valley’s soul. Walk through vineyards and mountain trails, taste curated wines, and hear stories beneath ancient oaks. For those who believe wine is something to feel, not just taste, this journey reveals the true magic of Stellenbosch.
Few experiences in the world blend nature, culture, and wine with such intimacy. This is the magic of Stellenbosch revealed step by step, sip by sip.
