Overview
A sip-and-stroll storytelling walk through South Africa’s most iconic vineyards, visiting Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, and Buitenverwachting.
With exclusive access to private trails, and keys to secret gates, this tour takes you behind the illustrious Constantia curtain. You’ll taste 10 wines, end with a harvest platter lunch and hear about the rise and fall of one of the world’s most celebrated wines.
The tour was created by a leading travel journalist and tells the story of the four winemakers who have helped to shape the Constantia Wine Valley over the past 330 years. They helped turn Constantia wine into the most sought-after wine in the world in the 1700s, desired by everyone from Queen Victoria and Marie Antoinette to Casanova and Napoleon.
This immersive experience is completely unique and will draw you into a world of fine wine and dramatic stories worthy of a Hollywood script.
