Wine
and Culinary Vacation Focuses Exclusively on the Cape Wine Region and
Provides Experiences with Celebrated Winemakers;
8-Day Package
Priced Starting at Just $3,450* (rest. apply)
Fort
Lauderdale, FL (February 3, 2014) - South African Airways Vacations®
(SAA Vacations) has developed a wine and culinary-themed package
designed to
satisfy the most ardent oenophile. Priced starting at just $3,450*
(restr. apply), the 8-day “Sommelier’s Choice” air-inclusive vacation
package immerses wine lovers deep into the Cape Wine region and behind
the scenes of a master winemaker’s creative process.
The package was created by region experts and for those who truly love
wine and wish to study its origins and development. The experience will
meld the beauty of South Africa’s Western Cape and its celebrated wine
region with an education in wine that only
celebrated wine masters can provide.
The
wine experience begins on South African Airways, Africa’s most awarded
airline, which features an exclusively South African wine cellar in the
sky,
chosen from among hundreds of the country’s finest vintages. The
package also includes stays at the Vineyard Hotel & Spa in Cape
Town, and the Lanzerac Hotel & Spa in Stellenbosch. A full-day Cape
Peninsula tour is complemented by an evening of private wine
tastings, as well as a dinner with the perfect cuisine and vintage
pairings, overseen by some of Cape Town’s most innovative chefs. The
highlight of the package is a “backstage” engagement and interaction
with a wine master within their private wine formation
spaces that are closed to the public. Visitors will feel as if they are
part of the winemaking process, and will learn insights that the
average person will never have the opportunity to enjoy.
“The
South African wine region continues to gain prominence as a world-class
destination and one that should be on every wine-lovers bucket list,”
said
Terry von Guilleaume, president of SAA Vacations. “We offer a number of
wine-themed packages, but the ‘Sommelier’s Choice’ takes it to a whole
other level, providing private experiences that are not open to the
public, and that would be of interest to those
wine enthusiasts who are looking for a more in-depth experience. This
package certainly fits the bill.”
