Wonderful Winery Holidays in Hermanus

If you leave Cape Town via the stunning Sir Lowry's Pass and the lovely Elgin Valley (known mainly for apple and deciduous fruit orchards), or by way of the spectacular coastal road past Cape Hangklip, and then keep to the coast, you will find yourself in Hermanus, at the start of the Garden Route. Outside the pretty little town, surrounded by nature reserves, is the Hemel en Aarde Vallei (Heaven and Earth Valley).

This is a relatively new and highly successful wine growing area.

You can visit this area on a day trip from Cape Town, or stay in one of the outstanding hotels in Hermanus. You could make this part of a round trip to different wine areas, or the first stop on your Garden Route trip to Port Elizabeth.

Whatever you want to do, however long you've got, we can tailor make a holiday that will tick as many as possible of your boxes. We know the area, as past residents, but we are based in the UK, available 24/7 to assist you, and ABTA and ATOL protected.
