Tucked away on the slopes of the Hottentots Holland mountain range is a small pocket of wine estates that are often overlooked. This journey sets out to uncover these hidden gems of the Helderberg, on the fringe of the Stellenbosch Winelands, as your senses are delighted with vast beauty, sensational tastes and fascinating tales of old.
'Helderberg' quite literally means "mountains with a clear view" and on a cloud-free day, you'll enjoy panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the Cape Peninsula and Table Mountain. Set out on an historic yet innovative wine adventure to discover the view from above and taste the fresh flavours of the Helderberg region. From a wine and olive oil pairing at Morgenster winery to Lourensford's wine with decadent chocolate pairing, a summer picnic lunch beneath 300 year old trees at Vergelegen and end with a wine with a view finale at Waterkloof.

Cần Quan Tâm
Morgenster Wine Farm and Olive Estate
Savour the rich history and fine wines on offer at what is known as the gateway to the Cape Winelands: the Helderberg - one of the oldest wine growing regions in the country - on a journey to uncover the same beauty that captured the hearts of the Dutch settlers some 300 years ago. Begin with a light and innovative pairing of three of Morgenster’s wines with their award-winning extra-virgin olive oil. While this may be a more widely accepted pairing nowadays, Mongenster was the pioneer of this type of pairing in South Africa in the 1990s. At the time there were only 100 hectares of olive trees used for olive oil in the entire country.. Today, you can reap the benefit as you unpack the flavour notes of one of the world’s best olive oils with balsamic vinegar, olive pastes and olives to compliment the wine.
Lourensford Wine Estate
Now that the wine is freely flowing and your taste buds awoken, travel up ancient oak tree-lined paths, to the decadence of Lourensford Estate. After a saunter through the lush gardens, you’ll be treated to a pairing of fine dark chocolate with some of their best wine offerings: Chardonnay teamed with orange dark chocolate, Merlot with cherry chocolate, Shiraz with hints of chilli and other artisan chocolate flavours. If time allows, check out the coffee roastery and deli. Just follow the aroma of a fresh batch of beans being roasted; the beer brewery at the weekend food market spot.

5.00Amazing day, you get taken to quieter estates away from the main tourists in this gem of a region. The wine is amazing and the views over False Bay and Table Mountain are breathtaking, especially from Waterkloof. Highly recommended,
