Wine Valley Safari – among the best things to do in the Robertson Wine Valley

The Wine Valley Safari is among the popular things to do in Robertson and the Cape Winelands. This hop-on-hop-off tour service was designed to offer you a safe, reliable, convenient and extremely fun way to explore the region.

Their open-air safari vehicle is unmissable with its zebra markings and allows you to breathe the fresh country air as you leisurely discover the Robertson Wine Valley.

Wine Valley Safari actually offers from self-guided hop-on hop-off routes to pre-packaged wine tasting tours. No day is the same as the safari vehicle follows a different route each day – and you will find every route a unique adventure to explore!

Their chauffeurs and guides are very knowledgeable of the region and have been praised for their hospitality.

Wine Valley Safari activities and offerings

You will be spoiled for choice from local wines, MCC, craft beers, whiskey, gin, grappa and olive tastings to food and wine pairings. The tours also include a lavender farming tour, a river cruise, cellar tours, a cultural McGregor Village tour and amazing lunch spots along the way!

Their Freestyle Wine Valley Safari really allows you to jump onto the open-air safari vehicle at any point along the tour and to jump off at your leisure. The Wine Appreciation Tour, however, needs to be pre-booked as it is a full day wine tour that explores the estates in the Robertson Wine Valley.

You will also love the Mcgregor Village Day Trip. Your tour to this beautiful town is also combined with an MCC, wine and grappa tasting. Meanwhile, their Nkqubela Township & Art Tour offers amazing township cultural experiences.

The Vine & Wine Sunset Safari is a popular evening tour designed fun in the vineyards. On Sundays, you can join them on their equally popular Sunday Lunch Safari.

Staying in Cape Town and looking for a Day Trip To The Winelands? Relax and let Wine Valley Safari handle the nitty-gritties. If you are flying into Robertson, they can pick you up at the airstrip and take you to your choice of accommodation, take you on the tours and return you to the airstrip at the end of your visit.

The company also has special packages that can be tailored for those hosting special group excursions like year-end functions, reunions, bachelorette parties and provide event shuttle services for weddings, events and festivals.

Reviews from their customers

“We thoroughly enjoyed our winelands tour – they were very flexible and customised the tour for us, managing to fit in 4 stops. Andy (the tour guide) was great and very friendly/helpful. It was a lovely way to see the area and enjoy some wine!” wrote Amanda on their TripAdvisor page.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities. We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa. Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
