WINE

We don't only share with you our passion for arts and culture, but also our love for wine, grown from the Krige family's strong involvement in wine farming for 300 years and our historical link with many of today's well-known vineyards. The Helderberg, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek wine routes offer a great variety of beautiful and historical wine estates that produce some of the finest wines.

There is a choice of some 250 vineyards to visit and when it comes to selecting 5 or 6 for a day's outing, this is where Johan's assistance could be useful. Planning a logical route for a tour with good variation is invaluable. A wine tour is also about much more than tasting samples, enjoying vineyards and buying wines it is also about the Cape Dutch architecture of the buildings, the gardens and general setting against the mountains or a stream, the history and additional attractions such as cheese making or glass blowing or even berry or dairy farming. And quite often the ultimate experience is a lunch somewhere alongside a lake or on a terrace at a wine farm. All these considerations will be supported by brochures and carefully made sketches to ensure that you will not get lost amongst all the farm roads and mountain passes!

From experience we know that the next morning we will have a report on the previous day's outing and will share many enjoyable memories. Visit  http://www.happyholiday.co.za  for personalised wine - and sightseeing tours.
