Wine, Dine & Unwind
“Sometimes the greatest luxury is not in doing more; it is having the time to savour every moment”
S ome journeys are about slowing down and savouring more. Others are about slowing down enough to truly enjoy where you are. This journey is designed for wellbeing. As with every Vindigo journey, there is room to make it personal - a private tasting with a winemaker, a table at a restaurant chosen especially for you, a spa ritual, a beautiful picnic or an experience shaped around something you love.
Wine. Dine. Unwind. And enjoy the journey together.
Cape Town
“Ease into Cape Town”
T he journey begins at the V&A Waterfront, where Cape Town’s energy meets the beauty of its mountains, beaches and ocean. It is the perfect place to ease into South Africa — exploring at your own pace, discovering the city’s neighbourhoods, enjoying its food and wine, or taking in the views from the mountain trails.
Spend time along the coastline, wander through the Waterfront or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon before discovering one of the city’s many exceptional restaurants. And between exploring, there is always time to slow down.
A beautiful place to begin - the city, mountains and ocean at your feet, and nowhere to rush to.
The Franschhoek Valley
“The Art of Indulgence”
F rom Cape Town, the journey moves into Franschhoek, where the landscape becomes softer and the days naturally seem to slow. Surrounded by vineyards and mountains, this is a place made for long lunches, beautiful wines and the pleasure of lingering.
But the Winelands experience can be far more personal than simply moving from one tasting to the next. Through our local knowledge and relationships, we can introduce you to the people and stories behind the estates — perhaps sharing a conversation with a winemaker, enjoying a private tasting or discovering a special corner of the valley.
And then there is the food.
Franschhoek is a destination where dining deserves its own place in the journey. From relaxed lunches on beautiful wine estates to more memorable evenings around the table, every meal is an opportunity to experience the character and creativity of the valley.
Good wine, exceptional food and the simple pleasure of taking your time.
Stellenbosch
“Wine, Wellness, Shopping & Time to Unwind”
I n Stellenbosch, the journey settles into a slower rhythm. Historic vineyards, mountain views and exceptional wines provide the setting, with time to explore beautiful estates, discover local flavours and meet the people behind the vineyards.
Browse the boutiques, galleries and independent shops around town, discovering locally made ceramics, jewellery, art and gifts that reflect the character of Stellenbosch. Or simply stay at Lanzerac. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, spend time at the spa, linger over a glass of wine or take a long lunch with nowhere else to be.
Perhaps a tasting leads to lunch, an afternoon of exploring, and eventually a return to the estate to relax.
With nowhere else to be, there is time to enjoy exactly where you are.
The Whale Coast
“Where the Journey Meets the Ocean”
F rom the vineyards, the journey turns towards the coast. At Birkenhead, the rhythm changes once again. The ocean becomes your backdrop, and the days can unfold as gently as you choose.
Take a walk along the coast, enjoy the sea air or simply find a comfortable place to sit and watch the world go by. During whale season, Hermanus is also one of the world’s finest places to see these magnificent creatures from the shore, as southern right whales gather in the sheltered waters just offshore. For those who feel like exploring, there are beautiful coastal landscapes and plenty to discover nearby.
But this chapter of the journey is also about slowing down.
Long lunches. A glass of wine with an ocean view. An afternoon with a book. Time spent watching whales breach, play and move through the bay. A sunset that gives you a reason to stay a little longer.
Sea air, beautiful surroundings, whale watching and time to simply unwind.
As your journey draws to a close, you leave with more than memories of the places you have visited.
You leave with the taste of a wine you discovered somewhere unexpected. A meal that turned into an evening of conversation. A beautiful view you lingered over longer than planned. The feeling of complete relaxation after an afternoon with nowhere else you needed to be.
From the energy of Cape Town to the vineyards of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, and finally the beauty of the coast, every part of the journey has offered its own invitation to slow down and savour the experience.
And along the way, the details that made it personal — the special table, the private encounter, the favourite wine, the spa ritual or the unexpected discovery — have helped turn a beautiful holiday into something entirely your own.
Because the best journeys are not simply about where you go. They are about the moments you make time for together.
Wine. Dine. Unwind. And take a little of South Africa home with you.
