DAY 1: ARRIVE CAPE TOWN
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met by your John Hall’s Alaska representative and will be transferred to your hotel, situated in the heart of the V&A Waterfront. The rest of your day is free for exploring the sights around your hotel. Join your group for a private welcome dinner at your hotel, Cape Grace, this evening.
Dinner Included Hotel Overnight: Cape Grace Hotel, Cape Town
DAY 2: BOSCHENDAL PICNIC AND WINE TASTING
After a welcome breakfast, begin your day with a visit to the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden. Bordered by the manicured suburbs of Stellenbosch and rugged mountainous terrain, Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden is a fantastic indigenous garden that is home to more than 60 works by the famed artist, Dylan Lewis. Explore the Jungian notion of ‘the wilderness within’ as you meander along a 2.5 mile path dotted with carefully placed sculptures that showcase the development of Lewis’ artist skills thus far. Lunch is a gourmet picnic at the Boschendal Rhone Rose Garden
surrounded by spectacular mountain views. Boschendal is one of the oldest farms in South Africa (founded in 1685), and is also a working farm that produces a wide range of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and meat products. Enjoy an afternoon wine tasting and cellar tour before
returning to your hotel to freshen up and enjoy dinner on the V&A Waterfront.
