“So many wine farms, so little time”. With over 500 wineries spread across a wide geographic area, it’s difficult to know where to start. Red, white or sparkling? Everyday quaffing or iconic wines? Robertson, Paarl or Constantia? There are a number of options for touring the wine areas:
- Use the Platters’ Guide and plan your own route
- Undertake an organised wine tour
- Ask Peter to plan a tour designed to meet your specific needs – a driver can be arranged
Each of these options has its own merits depending on your tastes, time constraints and budget. But whatever you decide, we do recommend that you visit at least a couple of our world-renowned terroirs.
