Overview


The Cape Winelands set the stage for a joyful family day out, where fresh country air, open spaces and hands on experiences create the perfect playground for all ages. Today is all about fun, freedom and shared moments, with plenty to keep both children and adults engaged from start to finish.

Begin at Spier Wine Farm, where little ones can run, explore and let their imaginations lead the way. Wide lawns and shaded pathways invite play, while interactive elements spark curiosity and discovery. Parents can take a moment to relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings, coffee or wine in hand, as the day gently gets underway.

From here, head to Stellenbosch, a vibrant village full of charm and energy. Wander beneath oak lined streets, popping into quaint shops and local spots before stopping for a well deserved ice cream tasting. This is always a highlight for younger travellers, offering a sweet and playful pause as you explore the heart of the town together.

The adventure continues at Boschendal, where the farm truly comes to life for families. Children can climb into the treehouse, roam open fields and embrace the simple joy of being outdoors, while parents unwind in a relaxed and scenic setting. Families can choose to explore further on foot or by bike, following gentle trails through vineyards and farmland. It is a space that encourages movement, laughter and connection, with a real sense of freedom that children love.

To round off the day, enjoy a unique and interactive tasting experience tucked away from the crowds. While adults are guided through a selection of carefully chosen wines, children are treated to their own special pairing, designed to engage their senses in a fun and memorable way. It is a thoughtful experience that makes everyone feel included.

This Winelands journey blends farm style fun, light adventure and indulgent moments, creating a relaxed and engaging day where families can explore, play and connect in one of the Cape’s most beautiful regions.

    Explore Boschendal - Explore the Tree House, Hike, Bike & Wine Tasting Experience
    Boschendal Wine Estate is well known for its back-to-basics farm lifestyle, wholesome agricultural practices, and range of outdoor activities, not to mention some of the best wines in the world. We will explore the farm through an array of optional activities; Children can head into The Tree House, a fun and engaging children’s Play Area with a focus on educating youngsters in sustainability and farm style living. Children can also test out their skills on the pump bike track and more capable cyclists wanting a lengthier ride can cycle the 5km or 10km bike route. We highly rate experiencing a Manor House Wine Tasting in their historical Cape vernacular Manor House which dates back to 1812.

    Tasting - Unique Children's Pairing and Adult Wine Tasting Off the Beaten Track
    This tasting is designed to delight both adults and children, creating a truly inclusive Winelands experience. While parents savour handpicked wines from a hidden, off-the-beaten-track cellar, children are treated to a unique pairing designed just for them — think fruit juices, chocolate, or small bites that mimic the flavours and textures of the estate’s wines. Guided by an expert host, kids explore the sensory world of taste and smell in a playful, hands-on way, while adults enjoy a curated tasting of boutique wines in an intimate setting. The experience blends education, fun and indulgence, leaving every family member with a sense of discovery, laughter and shared memory that makes the Winelands come alive for all ages.
