Overview


The Cape Winelands Explore Enhanced Sky Edition experience combines dramatic scenery, exceptional wines and relaxed exploration, offering a beautifully balanced journey through one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine regions. Designed for travellers who appreciate both adventure and authenticity, the day unfolds at an easy pace while revealing the landscapes, stories and craftsmanship that define the Winelands.

The experience begins with an exhilarating helicopter flight departing from Cape Town and heading out across the mountains and vineyards of the Cape Winelands. From above, sweeping valleys, winding mountain passes and neatly planted vineyards stretch toward the horizon, offering a remarkable perspective of the region’s natural beauty. Along the way, guests enjoy a memorable landing at a secret mountain location where fresh coffee and panoramic views create a peaceful pause high above the valleys below.

From here, the flight continues deeper into the Winelands before landing directly at Muratie, one of the region’s oldest and most characterful wine estates. Rich in history and atmosphere, Muratie feels wonderfully untouched by time, with oak trees, whitewashed walls and historic cellars adding to its unique charm. Enjoy a relaxed wine tasting featuring elegant wines that reflect the estate’s long standing heritage and traditional approach to winemaking, all surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery.

The journey then continues into Stellenbosch, one of South Africa’s oldest and most vibrant towns. Wander beneath oak lined avenues where Cape Dutch architecture sits alongside contemporary galleries, boutiques and inviting cafés. The pace here is easy and unhurried, with time to browse, pause and soak up the atmosphere of this lively university town. Your guide brings the streets to life with stories of heritage, culture and the people who continue to shape this enduring Winelands hub.

The day concludes with a final wine tasting experience carefully selected by your expert guide and tailored to your personal taste and interests. This may be a hidden boutique cellar tucked into the mountains, a historic estate rich in legacy or a contemporary winery known for innovation and bold expression. Each setting offers a different perspective, allowing the Winelands to reveal its diversity in a relaxed and meaningful way.

This is a day of scenic beauty, gentle discovery and memorable experiences, combining the thrill of flight with the timeless charm, hospitality and craftsmanship of the Cape Winelands.

    Wine Tasting - Muratie
    The Cape Winelands are peppered with beautiful vineyards, many of which date back to the historic seventeenth century. Muratie Wine Estate, situated in the stunning Knorhoek Valley near Stellenbosch, was established in 1685, making it one of South Africa’s oldest. A visit to the historic cobweb-strewn cellars and tasting rooms gives a feel of the character from centuries ago, where little has changed and the ancient cellar walls are still hung with original artworks. This family-owned estate is rightly proud of its heritage, and consistently produces superb wines in magical surroundings.
