Activity Description

Theme: History, Culture, Nature, Olives & Wine. The historic Cape Winelands are possibly set in the world’s most beautiful countryside with dramatic, expansive vistas of mountains, vineyards, and ocean. Swartland wines are at the forefront of quality wine production in South Africa and offer exceptional value for money. Innovative winemakers mastering old, low-yielding bush vines, and terroir, and their introduction of varietals that thrive in our dry climate, are key to the Swartland’s many successes.

You will learn about terroir and its influence on the grapes, as well as our Culture, History, and Cuisine in as much or little detail as you like.

Your guide and host Jim, guides history, culture, nature, and wine in English and Swedish. He is Cape Town born and has lived most of his life here. He knows all sorts of special places. His love for South Africa motivated him to qualify as a tourist guide and today he is doing what he loves most, sharing his passion for his country and its people. You can ask him what you like.
