City Sightseeing Cape Town, the company that runs
the unmistakable and well-known red double decker open-top buses have launched an exciting new extension to their
Blue Mini Peninsula Tour – a
Wine Tour that takes visitors to
Groot Constantia and
Eagles’ Nest – both nestled in the oldest wine region in the Southern Hemisphere:
Constantia Valley.
The tour offers two stops: at
Groot Constantia, the oldest wine farm in the country and the producer of world renowned wines for over three centuries and at Eagles’ Nest, a Constantia Valley red wine specialist cellar.
Claus Tworeck, the CEO of
City Sightseeing, explains that the new
Wine Tour has been launched as an
added free value extension to the existing
Blue Mini Peninsula Tour, and offers visitors and locals alike the chance to experience a true Cape outing.
The
City Sightseeing bus that will take you on the
Wine Tour departs from the
Two Oceans Aquarium at the
V&A Waterfront, with a bus running every 35 minutes, starting at 09h00. The bus then drops off and collects from the car park at
Groot Constantia. All the
City Sightseeing buses operate on a hop-on, hop-off basis, so you can spend as little or as much time there as you like.
The
Blue Mini Peninsula bus also visits 13 other attractions along its route that you may choose to stop at, however, for those that wish to make a day of their visit to
Groot Constantia,
City Sightseeing recommends that a
2-Day ticket is bought.
