Product Info

Visit a black-owned wine farm in Franschhoek, Cape Town, with a local guide who provides unique insights into the racial politics of South Africa's history of winemaking. The farm was founded by two friends who grew up working as farm laborers in Franschhoek.

Taste wine named after the founder's mother, who was once a chief wine taster and lifelong farm laborer of a farm owned by white South Africans.

The tour will also include a visit to local art galleries as well as a museum that tells the story of South Africa’s French Huguenots in the context of a global refugee phenomenon that led to the persecution of a community of Protestant Christians from Europe.

Explore how issues of racial power, religion, freedom, and legend-making contributed to shaping the story of the Franschhoek wine valley.
