Golf and Wine Tour: 6 Days in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands
Few places in the world pair golf and wine as naturally as the Western Cape. Championship courses sit among vineyards, and the 19th hole often comes with an award-winning wine list. This six-day “Tee and Wine” tour balances three rounds of golf with the best tastings, cellars and views of the Cape.

Sample itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town
Your guide meets you at the airport and takes you to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden for a light lunch with local wine and a run-through of the week ahead. Then check in and relax.
Day 2: Westlake
Play Westlake, an easy-walking, tree-lined parkland course with an environmental conscience: it irrigates with treated water rather than drinking water. The evening is free to explore Cape Town’s restaurants.
Day 3: The Cape Peninsula
Drive the Atlantic Seaboard and Chapman’s Peak to the Cape of Good Hope, ride the funicular to the Cape Point lighthouse, and visit the African penguins at Boulders Beach.
Day 4: De Zalze
Transfer to Stellenbosch to play Peter Matkovich’s De Zalze among the vines. The evening is at leisure in Stellenbosch.
Day 5: The wine day
Swap your clubs for a glass (or several). Start with a cellar tour and tasting in the Paarl wine region, head to Franschhoek for Méthode Cap Classique sparkling wine, and finish at a Stellenbosch brandy distillery to see the traditional art of cooperage (barrel-making).
Day 6: Pearl Valley and departure
End with Jack Nicklaus’s Pearl Valley, surrounded by the Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains, then enjoy an early dinner before your flight.
