There are few better – or tastier – ways to obtain an authentic insight into a culture then through its cuisine.

Escorted by a local expert, you will stroll the attractive tree-lined avenues of Stellenbosch’s Cape Dutch architecture. Between stories that reveal the history of South Africa’s second-oldest town, you will drop into bakeries and vintners, sampling the very best traditional snacks and locally-produced wines.

Your tour then ends with a lunch comprising a platter of South African dishes, from meaty boerewors sausage to tangy local cheeses.
