HIGHLIGHTS

Enjoy a gourmet lunch at La Petite Colombe with stunning views in a fabulous setting

Experience a wine tasting at Hamilton Russell Vineyards which is considered to make one of the world’s best Pinot Noir

Take part in a guided tour to the southernmost part of the Cape Peninsula with its magnificent nature

Around the Western Cape there are many great restaurants of various kinds. We handpick unforgettable gourmet experiences and make reservations for lunch and/or dinner. In the choice of restaurants, we focus on the modern kitchen that is growing in popularity today. Renowned chefs who embrace international trends, combined with national cuisine. We also choose restaurants with a focus on the exciting traditional African cuisine. Common to the selected restaurants is that they are affordable and always serve fresh produced ingredients year a round. We help to select a number of special wineries around the winelands, all of which will have special character: some for their distinct farms and others for their fine wine.

We also assist in organizing private dinners / events / wine tastings with local talented, and in some cases award-winning, chefs and winemakers. We make sure you have an unforgettable gourmet experience.

Note that during the “peak season” (Christmas and New Year) it is recommended to book restaurants for dinner (and sometimes lunch) every evening well in advance before departure.

As a client to Upplev Sydafrika, you have the opportunity to take part in our latest restaurant recommendations.

You can travel to South Africa all year round, but we recommend going September to May

Healthcare is good in South Africa. Even so we suggest obtaining a sound travel insurance before departure

As a EU and UK citizen, you will receive a 90-day tourist visa upon arrival in South Africa

To ponder before travelling:

The so-called “peak season” in December / January is very popular indeed and requires booking of accommodation, safaris, activities and restaurants well in advance.
