Private Tour
Duration: Full Day
If you prefer to eat organically or biodynamically produced food, then why drink wine produced with pesticides? While the Cape's wine regions are world-famed, less than 1% of estates utilize organic farming techniques. This journey is for those who seek an in-depth, alternative experience of the Winelands—one full of story, soul, and clean viticulture.
We often begin at Avondale Wine Estate in Paarl. Their curated Eco Tour is the definitive way to immerse oneself in biodynamic techniques. This two-hour journey includes a cellar tour and a tasting of their exceptional sparkling wine at various locations across the estate.
Lunch is an organic, farm-to-fork experience at a hand-picked eatery. In the afternoon, we explore further pioneers of the movement. This might include Reyneke, where Johan Reyneke uses clay amphorae and concrete to find new flavors, or Longridge, known for its elegant wines and panoramic views.
Depending on the day, we may finish with the dramatic vistas of Waterkloof overlooking False Bay, or an intimate tasting of natural, garagiste wines by Bertus van Niekerk on his private Somerset West patio. It is a winelands journey for the conscious epicurean.
