Essential Tips for Your South African Wine Adventure
To make the most of your South African wine tour, here are a few insider tips:
- Plan your winery visits: Unlike European wineries, not all South African wineries offer cellar tours. Research opening hours in advance or consult with our local travel experts for assistance.
- Book restaurant reservations: Many wine estates boast exceptional on-site restaurants. Reserve a table in advance to avoid disappointment, especially during peak lunch hours.
- Consider a 4-wheel drive vehicle: If you plan on renting a car, opt for a 4-wheel drive, as some roads may be isolated and poorly signposted. Ensure a working GPS is provided for seamless navigation.
With its Mediterranean climate and approximately 300 days of sunshine per year, there’s never a bad time to visit the South African winelands.
