• Cape Town Central - Heading east from Cape Town, we’ll pass through some of the city’s and South Africa’s most renowned townships en route to the wine country. Our first stop is Langa, the oldest township in South Africa, established in 1823. Unlike other informal settlements in the country, Langa is well-developed and has seen significant economic growth over the years. Notable new industries include ceramic manufacturing, traditional South African bistros, and film production. One of the most famous movies filmed here is ‘Safe House’ starring Denzel Washington. It’s about a 50-60 minute drive to our first wine destination, Delaire Graff Estate on Helshoogte Road.
• Groot Drakenstein Prison - Nelson Mandela spent the final 14 months of his long political imprisonment at Drakenstein Prison, formerly known as Victor Verster. Mandela referred to it as a “gilded cage,” where he was housed in luxurious quarters rather than a cell. He had access to multiple bedrooms, a swimming pool, a personal chef, and stunning views of the Drakenstein Mountains, but he remained imprisoned despite the comfortable conditions. This period marked the end of Mandela’s incarceration before he was finally freed in February 1990 after decades of struggle.
• Franschhoek - We’ll stop in Franschhoek Town, which translates to “French Corner” in English, for lunch. Franschhoek is one of South Africa’s oldest towns, featuring centuries-old vineyards and Cape Dutch architecture. Known as the heart of food and wine in the country, Franschhoek is nestled in one of the world’s most beautiful wine valleys. At the end of the main road stands the 17th and 18th-century Huguenot Monument, honoring the French settlers who arrived here. We’ll have 1 hour for lunch before heading to our final wine estate.
