Live Lot #9 – SOUTH AFRICA CAPE WINE EXPERIENCE

Embark on an extraordinary culinary and wine adventure through the stunning city of Cape Town, South Africa, and its surrounding wine regions. This private luxury journey for two offers an opportunity to enjoy South Africa’s sophistication and beauty while tasting some of the best wines and cuisine in the world.

Sir Francis Drake called Cape Town “the fairest cape in the circumference of the earth.” This exceptional trip includes stays at two of the most spectacular hotels in the region. First, you will spend three nights at the stunning Winchester Mansions Hotel. Classical elegance abounds in the iconic building with luxurious rooms and views of the mountains or the sea. Harvey’s Restaurant will be your first stop for a memorable dinner of South African cuisine with a European twist. From here, explore the exciting and historic city for two glorious days with the help of a personal local guide.

After your time in Cape Town, it’s off to the hills where you will spend two luxurious nights at the incomparable four-star Devon Valley Hotel, hidden away in a peaceful corner of the Stellenbosch vineyard region. The pretty university town of Stellenbosch is now the heart of the Premier Wine Route in South Africa.

From here, you can also visit the historic town of Paarl and Franschhoek, a nearby tranquil village known for its French Huguenot Heritage, fine wines and award-winning restaurants. Included in this portion of the trip is a cap classique and meringue tasting at the house of JC le Roux, a cellar tour and barrel tasting at the Middelvlei and Clos Malverne Wine Estates, as well as a guided vineyard walk with a valley viticulturalist. Back at your hotel, you will be treated to dinner at the hotel’s Flavours Resturant, which offers contemporary Cape cuisine and local live classical and jazz music. The romance level is high with this one. Don’t delay; start your bidding now and discover all the wonders of South Africa together.
