Cellar tour, wine lecture & tasting
One of the KWV wine cellars Probably the highlight of the day. Equally enjoyable for wine connoisseurs and wine illiterates. At either Nederburg, KWV or Bergkelder (all leading estates) you'll be introduced to the process of wine making. This includes a cellar tour where you'll be able to smell and see what goes into producing good wine.

The Bergkelder Wine Cellar in Stellenbosch, you'll have the opportunity to taste some of their exceptional wines. The cherry on the top is the tasting session where you get to sample a selection of the estate's wines under the guidance of someone who knows his/her wines. You'll be told what to look for in the colour/body, aroma/nose and taste/palate of the wine. Afterwards you'll have the opportunity to buy some of the wines, so remember to keep some space open in your suitcase! All in all a very enjoyable and educational experience.

Franschoek & second tasting at Mont Rochelle
The French Hugenot Monument in Franschoek, South Africa Franschoek is Dutch/ Afrikaans for "the French Corner". This small village's history is that of the French Huguenots who fled France in 1680 after being persecuted for their Protestant faith.

Although the Cape already had some vineyards at the time the French brought their superior knowledge and experience to the Cape Wine industry and enriched it tremendously. At the end of the village's main road stands the impressive French Huguenot Monument and Museum. We visit the Monument and explore the small town. We also fit in an all important second wine tasting*!

The Afrikaans Language Monument
Located on the scenic Paarl Mountain the Afrikaans Language Monument is noticed from far away. This impressive monument tells the story of a European language that was brought to Africa by the first white pioneers to settle here and that in time evolved into a uniquely African language. With its roots in Dutch modern day Afrikaans carries with it the influences of French, German, Malay, Khoi and other African Languages. The Monument represents this interesting history in a captivating visual form.

Stellenbosch
The Stellenbosch Brandy Museum, only one of a great variety of attractions in Stellenbosch Stellenbosch* is the second oldest town in South Africa*. It is in the centre of an important wine region and in it you will find some of the oldest architecture in modern South Africa*.
