Cape Town: Somerset West Italian Wine Tour｜South Africa

Spend a full day exploring the wine culture and dramatic scenery of the Helderberg, with convenient pickup anywhere in Cape Town and comfortable transport throughout. This Somerset West Italian Wine Tour is a tailor-made journey through vineyards, mountain backdrops, and estate tastings inspired by European varietals and Cape terroir.

Begin at Lourensford Wine Estate, a vast and historic property set against the Helderberg Mountains, known for its natural beauty of forests, fynbos, orchards, and vineyards. Continue to Capelands, where award-recognized wines and a welcoming estate atmosphere make for a memorable tasting stop. Travel onward to Waterkloof, founded on a search for a “new classic” vineyard site on the south-facing slopes above False Bay—an amphitheatre-like setting designed to express a strong sense of origin in the glass. End the day at the world-renowned Idiom Wines, nestled in the Helderberg range and celebrated for its Cape expressions of European classics and masterful blends.

Along the way, enjoy commentary from your registered English-speaking guide and stay connected with onboard Wi‑Fi. If you’d like to extend the experience, choose to stop for lunch at your own expense—either at Capelands Restaurant or at the Osteria Cheese Bar near Waterkloof for an Italian-inspired meal.
