We enjoyed a delicious Cape Malay dinner, but the cupcake and wine pairing was the unexpected highlight. A lovely stop for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Walk through the vineyards before settling in for a wine and fudge pairing. The fudge portions were beyond generous, and we loved meeting the horses.

We visited for the Sunday family market, with games, rides and plenty of food stalls. Come hungry because the portions we found were massive.

We stopped at their Blaauwklippen market stall for lamb neck with potatoes. The meat was crispy and salty outside, wonderfully tender inside, and enough to feed a family.

Try blending your own wine before sitting down to a traditional South African braai. Our team competition turned into a wonderfully rowdy evening.

We stayed here and explored the sprawling vineyards on our first-ever Segway tour. Once we found our balance, we were hooked.

The wine safari takes you through the vineyards in an open Land Rover, with spectacular views and tasting stops. Follow it with an outdoor lunch of breads, cheeses, olives and deli meats.

We came here for drinks and live music after an action-packed day. It was a fun spot to unwind and sing along.

I joined their cycling tour to explore Stellenbosch and learn more about its history. Our ride finished at Lanzerac Wine Estate.

We regrouped here after a morning of hiking and cycling. The spread of cheeses, deli meats, fresh fruit and wine was just what we needed.

Take a break from wine tasting and try the vinegars here. They were beautifully balanced with richness and sweetness, even for someone who isn't usually a vinegar fan.

This was one of the most luxurious estates we visited, combining wine with beautiful South African art. Our meal felt like a work of art itself.
