In South African cuisine, indigenous ingredients and culinary techniques have mingled with influences brought with the Dutch, English, Portuguese, French, and Malay settlers to form a unique national flavor unlike any other. This culinary tour aims to give sophisticated travelers an introduction to this fascinating country and its tasty cuisine through private touring, exquisite meals at the most notable restaurants, and exploration of the famed wine region. Start with three nights at the Cape Grace, the city’s premier property, and take a helicopter tour of the city, eat at several of the city’s best restaurants, and explore the Cape Peninsula and surrounding region on private tours. From Cape Town, transfer to Le Quartier Francais in Franschhoek, located in the famed wine region, where you will have two days to sample the wines and take in the beautiful scenery of this verdant landscape. Continue from Franschhoek to Hermanus, a Garden Route town that is considered the best spot for whale watching in the world. In Hermanus, spend your time indulging in the personalized menu at Birkenhead House, going on excursions to nearby villages like Stanford to sample the artisanal cheeses and beers, and absorbing the magnificent scenery.
