Did you know that you can visit up to eight wine farms in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley? It’s true! And let me tell you, if you’ve ever had even a tiny bit of doubt about how amazing the Western Cape Winelands are, you can put those doubts to rest. This region has been voted as one of the top 10 wine-producing areas in the world by Wine Folly, Wine Traveller, and Vine Pair.

So, I know most people usually head to Stellenbosch or Franschhoek when they want to indulge in some wine, but the Hemel-en-Aarde region is definitely worth considering. Yes, it might be a little farther from Cape Town’s city center, but trust me, it’s worth the journey.

Here’s how it works:

Hey there! Get ready for an unforgettable adventure on the Hermanus Wine Route! This tour is unlike any other and will leave you with incredible memories.

We start our journey at the Village Market, right on Market Square Street. It’s super convenient! The tour costs R300 for the day, and if you’re under 18, it’s only R150. Such a great deal!

Now, let me tell you about the tour itself. We’ll be exploring the Hemel-en-Aarde region, home to some of the most beautiful wine farms. And guess what? We’ll be doing it in style, riding in a safari-style van. How cool is that?

The best part is that you can customize your experience. The van follows a set route, but you can hop on and off whenever you want. There’s no rush, so you can spend as much time as you’d like at each winery.

The vans come around every 20 to 30 minutes from 9am to 4.30pm. That gives you plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery, savor the delicious wines, and maybe even enjoy a fantastic alfresco meal. Just keep in mind that wine tastings, meals, and any other activities at the wineries are at your own expense.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your friends or family, and let’s embark on this incredible wine adventure together! It’s going to be an experience you won’t forget!

Here’s the great thing: you don’t have to carry around the wine you buy from one winery to another. Just give them to the driver, and they’ll drop them off at the ticket office. You can pick them up later when you come back, as long as you have a valid voucher and some ID.

Here’s Something Good to Know:

• The safari vehicles stop at wineries along the route every 30 minutes to drop off and pick up passengers.
• Don’t worry about the weather. The vehicles have panels that can be rolled down to protect you from rain or shine.
