Those who enjoy the outdoors and a good glass of wine can combine these two activities on the Constantia Wine Walk<\/a>, an insightful tour through some of the most gorgeous scenery in the city. The tour kicks off at Groot Constantia, South Africa’s oldest wine farm, then sets off to Klein Constantia and ends at Buitenverwachting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the relaxed 7-kilometre walk, the tour guide will explain the fascinating history of the Constantia Wine Valley and of course, tastings at each farm are a given. You’ll even get to dig into a scrumptious charcuterie platter by lunchtime at the final stop, all the while learning more about the history of the farms and this beloved drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in what is arguably one of the most epic picnic and braai spots in the country, Oudekraal forms part of Table Mountain National Park and is a protected marine area. As such, there\u2019s a small fee to enter but it’s well worth it for the chance to braai South African style next to the sea. Oudekraal’s facilities include toilets and built-in braais (bring your own grid) for the perfect day out with epic views and a swimming area if you can brave the icy Atlantic water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrance is free for WILD Card and TMNP My Green Card holders.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
