Day 1 : ARRIVAL CAPE TOWN
Arrive at Cape Town International Airport, where you will meet your driver-guide, who will transfer you to your hotel and assist with the check-in procedure. If you’re feeling knackered after the flight, you can stay in the hotel to put your feet up and make the most of the available services. But if you’re itching to start exploring this fascinating city, then hit the streets and make your own way towards those tourist attractions, restaurants or shops. Perhaps visit the city centre with its many historical buildings and different architectural style and maybe enjoy a trip with the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is also worth a visit. Here you will find numerous bars, restaurants, boutiques and shops, cinemas and the aquarium. Outside the amphitheater, there is regular live entertainment for you to enjoy. (Activities are recommendations only, not included).
Overnight in Cape Town.

Continue to Gallery F, the perfect place to admire great photography and art collections. The South Africa National Gallery is a true highlight and the end of the official art walk.

Continue your art hunting in Stellenbosch’s town centre, walking along Stellenbosch’s Dorpstraat, where some leisure time will give you the chance to discover first-class galleries on your own. Then, proceed to Spier Wine Estate, one of the finest wineries in the Cape, as well as the host of one of the most extensive contemporary art collections in the country. From the farm’s public spaces to displays in the manor house, hotel and wine tasting centre, the Spier Wine Estate has much to offer its visitors. And art is as much part of Spier as good food and fine wine. The works of art are rotated every year to give exposure to as many artists as possible, and to keep the spaces fresh for visitors. Spier cellar is both functional and beautiful, and it provides an excellent wine tasting experience combined with a cold cut and cheese platter for an early dinner.
