Summerwood Guest House - 2h – Premium Wine Tasting Carriage Trail

Activity Description

Enjoy our 2h Premium Wine Tasting Carriage Trail at the historic Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, nestled in the foothills of the Simonsberg in South Africa’s most celebrated Franschhoek wine valley. We meander through the farm to take in the sights and sounds of this magnificent valley, while enjoying premium wines that are otherwise only available for tasting by request. This trail is slightly longer and meanders along under the oak trees through the vineyards of the working farm and along the river.

The law prohibits the sale of alcohol to a minor (anyone under the age of 18 years). It is not prohibited for minors to buy, attempt to buy or consume alcohol.
