THE WINE ENTHUSIAST’S SOUTH AFRICA (13 days from $1,369 pp without flights) (Ref. WEN)

For anybody who loves good quality wines. Not only are South African wines very tasty, they are also made in some of the most picturesque parts of the country.

 

Begin with a couple of days in Cape Town, simply because it is a shame to miss the chance to enjoy this cosmopolitan city and its wonderful setting. Then head to The Winelands for a few days really getting to know the region. Continue on to The Whale Coast, famous for whales but also home to several absolutely fantastic vineyards. Conclude with some time in the Klein Karoo, famous for its port.
