Depart
from Cape Town and head south along the Peninsula towards Constantia,
where we enjoy a tour of the famous Constantia Wine Ward.
The
historic valley, with vineyards clinging to the eastern slopes of
the Constantiaberg mountainside is home to 17th Century Dutch governor,
Simon van der Stel’s wine farm. Its legendary dessert wines
graced the tables of the European monarchy in the 18th Century.
There
are now seven cellars in this premier ward, and we will taste at some
of these estates, which continue the tradition of producing wines
from classic European noble varieties. The area is celebrated for
Sauvignon Blancs, Semillons and Chardonnays, from the Steenberg, Constantia
Uitsig and Buitenverwachting estates.
Wonderful
Merlots, Cabernet, Shiraz and red blends in classic Bordeaux styles
are also made at Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia and High Constantia,
but the area’s famed signature wine is still the exquisite Vin
de Constance from Klein Constantia.
Wine
tastings are tailored to the estates’ opening hours and guest’s
wine preferences.
