South Africa
Join Us on Our South Africa Tours
South Africa tells its story through the landscape as much as the meal. In Cape Town, fishing boats return beneath the silhouette of Table Mountain while neighborhood bakeries, spice shops, and cafés reflect centuries of cultural exchange. Just beyond the city, the Cape Winelands stretch beneath rugged peaks, where vineyards planted by French Huguenots more than three centuries ago continue to produce some of the Southern Hemisphere's most compelling wines. The table is equally diverse: Cape Malay curries fragrant with cinnamon and coriander, freshly harvested oysters, flame-grilled seafood, and wines that rival the world's great regions. Every meal becomes another way of understanding the country itself.

The Best Time to Visit South Africa
We love visiting South Africa during the Cape's harvest months, from September through April, when vineyards are alive with activity and long evenings invite lingering meals outdoors.
Things to Do in New Zealand
Taste your way through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, visit historic wine estates, watch African penguins wander Boulders Beach, and linger over seafood overlooking the Atlantic in Cape Town.
