Constantia wijn- en verhalentour met lunch vanuit Kaapstad





Beschrijving
Een slok-en-wandeling langs de meest iconische wijngaarden van Zuid-Afrika, met bezoek aan Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia en Buitenverwachting. Met exclusieve toegang tot privépaden en sleutels tot geheime poorten neemt deze tour je mee achter het illustere Constantia-gordijn. Je proeft 10 wijnen, eindigt met een oogstschotellunch en hoort over de opkomst en ondergang van een van 's werelds meest gevierde wijnen. De tour is gemaakt door een toonaangevende reisjournalist en vertelt het verhaal van de vier wijnmakers die de afgelopen 330 jaar hebben meegeholpen aan het vormgeven van de Constantia Wine Valley. Ze hielpen Constantia-wijn in de jaren 1700 veranderen in de meest gewilde wijn ter wereld, begeerd door iedereen, van koningin Victoria en Marie Antoinette tot Casanova en Napoleon. Deze meeslepende ervaring is volstrekt uniek en neemt je mee in een wereld van heerlijke wijn en dramatische verhalen die een Hollywood-script waard zijn.

Don’t let a little rain put you off this truly wonderful experience. Matt from Natural Wanders made our time together enjoyable with his many stories from the area from our first glass of bubbles and sweet treat to our liquid sunshine glass of Vin De Constance and lovely lunch. A truly memorable day.
Thanks so much Melanie, I had a lovely time with you and Bryan, thanks so much for joining!
Had a great tour with Matt. He’s really fun, makes the history of Constantia come alive with story telling. Stunning scenery. If you are looking for loads of info about the wines it may not be the right tour for you. We thoroughly enjoyed the wines we tasted, and brought some back to the UK and also met some truly lovely South Africans who were just delightful. Picnic lunch at the last wine farm was perfect. It was a great way to spend one of the few sunny days we had!
Ah thanks so much for the lovely review, I really appreciate it!
We did the tour on 6th March - a surprisingly dull & cloudy day in Cape Town - but it turned out to be a perfect day over in Constantia - so never let the weather deter you. Just 4 of us were booked on the walk, led by Harleigh. The walk was informative, captivating, fun & engaging. The wine tastings were all excellent & the picnic at the end - OMG - divine ! I’ve wanted to do this tour for a few years now but it never worked out. I’m so glad that I finally did - highly recommended.
Geoff and Cedric made this walk and absolutly pleasurable journey! Geoff has a racontuer type storytelling manner, coupled with fine support from Cedric and their their joking, relaxed and friendly banter was interesting and most welcome from 9am in the morning until we finished after lunch time. The early morning small glass of perfectly chilled Steenberg splarking wine coupled with the unexpected but delicious and warm Pasteis de Nata, set the tone and standard of what was to follow. All of this made the wine tasting, a matter still of key importance to us - an easy, informative driven, yet fun event! Their knowledge of the region and the history was delightfully received, at times with wonder but mostly always with general intrigue from a learning point of view. Matt can very proud of these two gentlemen who made JC's 70th celebration an honestly most enjoyable experience- I just wish we had done this many times before with our fmailies - during the many and varied visits to the Mother City! we will most certainly be back to try out another such tour.
A great tour that is not like others. Fun walks through different vineyards, nice tastings, and great stories. Geoff was a great guide and we learned a lot about the area in a way that was never going to be possible but just driving up to the tasting rooms. I would recommend this for anyone who wants something unique and fun.
A wonderful experience enjoyed by our group of friends. Geoff made the history of the Cape come alive with his engaging snd humorous story telling. The wine tastings were wonderful and the lunch outstanding. Would highly recommend this tour for local and international groups!
Excellent guide with not only a wealth of knowledge, but also a very entertaining way of sharing it. Pleasant walk with a lovely refreshment surprise along the way. Definitely recommended.
The best wine tasting! Even better stories! The perfect day! Really informative, so fun and a highlight of our week visiting Cape Town
Learning about the history of Constantia and how it evolved over the centuries was fascinating, Matt has thoroughly researched the interesting characters and their stories bring some magic to the tour. I highly recommend this walk as it covers so many aspects of how the Cape has evolved over the years.
Thanks so much for the lovely review and kind words, I really appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to review!
Had an amazing, fun and insightful walk with Matt through the Constantia Vineyards. Learnt so much about the interesting and colourful characters who lived and worked on these beautiful farms. Matt is a raconteur of note with a great sense of humour. And it included delicious wine tastings and lunch! A day well spent and one I would highly recommend
Thanks so much for the lovely review and kind words!
