Useful Information
Enjoy a 6-course lunch at Waterkloof
Check in at the V&A Waterfront’s helipad and then board your helicopter to take to the skies above Table Bay. Leave the bustling harbor and look out over the undulating coastline stretching southwards to the Cape of Good Hope.
Touch down on Tygerberg Hill, just outside of the city, for a wine-tasting session at Cape Town’s De Grendel Estate. Sample a selection of the winery’s best reds, whites and rosé wines on the estate’s veranda, set against the dazzling backdrop of Table Mountain – one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Return to the skies and soar inland above the Cape Flats toward Heldenberg in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Take in the rolling hills while cruising through the air, and then land on the slopes of Schapenberg Mountain at Waterkloof Estate. This award-winning winery combines sustainable production methods with sleek architecture, and you’ll revel in its ambiance during a wine-tasting session in its atmospheric lounge.
Then it’s time for your tour’s grand finale! Sit down for a 6-course tasting lunch in Waterkloof’s ‘restaurant in the sky’ – a gorgeously appointed glass conservatory that’s set 33 feet (10 meters) off the ground. In tribute to its surrounding landscape, the room exudes stylish simplicity, flaunting floor-to-ceiling windows for views that match the brilliance of the food. Be blown away by each course as you dine off a classical menu with a French twist. All dishes are paired with exquisite wines from the estate.
After your meal, board your helicopter for the short flight to Cape Town. Following False Bay's coastline, look out for natural landmarks like Constantia Neck, and see if you can tell Hout Bay from its glamorous Clifton neighbor. Soar past the Twelve Apostles mountain range, and then touch down back at the V&A Waterfront where your tour finishes.
