Itinerary:
Day 1
We head out to the Franschhoek wine route to Leopard's Leap winery. Wines are created by sourcing the best grapes from the Cape Winelands to produce wine of exceptional quality. Situated in the
picturesque Franschhoek Valley, South Africa, they produce affordable wines that are perfect for
any occasion. They are passionate about crafting superb easy-drinking wine, and making sure that
only the best is produced and sold under the Leopard's Leap label. After sampling their accessible and varied wines, we head for La Petite Ferme for a cellar tour and tasting. As one of the more intimate wineries in the Cape Winelands, La Petite Ferme takes pride in delicately hand-crafting its wines using time as its artisan, with constant respect for terroir. International accolades accredit the winemaker's precise attention to detail and a selection is available either at the farm or in limited edition at selected retailers. A tradition built tirelessly by three generations, lunches at La Petite Ferme Restaurant are legendary. A feast of culinary delights that beguile and entertain, the food reflects the creative energy and raw talent of a dedicated staff combined with an abundance of fresh local ingredients. The restaurant has furthermore been listed by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the top 15 'Best Value' establishments in the world. (Lunch for own account.)
L’Ormarins, one of the oldest wine estates in the Franschhoek wine valley, offers discerning wine
lovers a multi-faceted experience comprising of a rewarding blend of natural scenic splendour,
internationally acclaimed wines as well as the fascinating motor museum which depicts the more than 100 year evolution of the motor vehicle portrayed in the four halls of the museum and where a minimum of 80 vehicles (in perfect working order) out of a collection exceeding 200, can be viewed at any given time. At FMM, the history of the automobile is depicted from the humble Penny Farthing bicycle through
to the Ferrari Enzo – a joy to behold for any petrol head! Drive through to Franschhoek. Check in at La Petite Ferme (Luxury option) Maison Chablis Classic option). Evening and dinner at your leisure.
