the near vertical mountain face between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.

your way down to Cape Point. This rocky outcrop was known as the Cape of
Storms due to the number of vessels that where shipwrecked along the
coastline. You will have the opportunity to walk to the old lighthouse
at the Point.

Bay, through the historic navy base, Simons Town. You will then pass through the popular holiday

Town, Fish Hoek and the popular holiday resort of Muizenberg.
Stellenbosch Wine Tour from Cape Town (afternoon)
On a walking tour around the city center, your guide will tell you about
some of the history of this ancient city and explain how it came to be
synonymous with great South African wine. Admire the abundant Cape Dutch
and Georgian architecture as you walk along StellenboschÂ’s leafy,
tree-lined streets. The city is known locally as Eikestad, meaning ‘city
of oaks,Â’ because of the numerous oak trees that line its secluded
streets.
Continue to one of the nearby historic wine estates for a wine-tasting
session with your expert guide. The exact winery visited will change
depending on availability on the day of your tour, but possible estates
include Charmony, KWV Wines, Merelust Estate or Uitkyk Estate. Sample
local Pinotage, a red wine grape that prides itself on being South
AfricaÂ’s signature variety, and learn about the Stellenbosch wine
regionÂ’s Mediterranean climate and different soils that help create its
highly regarded fine wine.
After an hour at the wine estate, hop back on board your luxury coach for the scenic journey back to Cape Town.
