“Soar above the Cape Peninsula by helicopter with views of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles and Cape Point, then land in Stellenbosch for a private wine tasting and gourmet lunch.
About This Experience
This is Cape Town at its most extravagant — a helicopter flight over the peninsula followed by a private wine tasting afternoon in Stellenbosch. Lift off from the V&A Waterfront helipad and watch Table Mountain shrink below as your pilot traces the coastline past the Twelve Apostles, Camps Bay, Llandudno and Chapman's Peak. Bank over the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point before turning inland towards the lush vineyards of the Cape Winelands. Touch down at a premier Stellenbosch estate for a private cellar tour and guided tasting of reserve wines paired with artisan cheeses. A three-course gourmet lunch follows at the estate restaurant, featuring seasonal Cape cuisine with wine pairing. After lunch, your private ground transfer returns you to Cape Town via Franschhoek Pass, stopping at a second estate for a final tasting if time allows. With a helicopter, two estates and world-class cuisine, this is a signature Cape Town experience for special occasions.
