Gourmet Food, Wine Safari and Pontoon Cruises.

Recently awarded the Best Cellar Door Experience in South Africa by British Master of Wine, Tim Atkin guests at Benguela Cove Wine Estate can enjoy world-class attractions.

The Benguela experience starts with one of the friendly wine ambassadors meeting you to present the special offerings of the estate. Planted to 65 hectares of vineyards and 10 hectares of olive trees, the vineyard safari route includes a wine and olive tasting and cellar tour - and you can even blend your own wine.

The oceanside location offers a new dimension to wine tourism; you can enjoy a pontoon cruise on the tranquil lagoon and experience the symmetry of magnificent views, food and wine. Returning to the estate and visiting the winery, you have a choice of wine tastings and pairings, including with cheese, charcuterie or chocolate. Gastronomes can try the signature wine and oyster pairing. Visitors can also enjoy the Art of Living Exhibition at Benguela Art Gallery, featuring the works of over 30 top artists.

For a full day’s experience, visitors enjoy gourmet dining at the estate restaurant Moody Lagoon where local produce is celebrated. Any children can be occupied with buckets of fun at the on-site Pirate Adventure Golf Course and Splash Pad.

Benguela Cove is situated an hour’s drive from Cape Town International Airport, 15km from the town of Hermanus, renowned worldwide for whale-watching tourism. Helicopters are welcome. Visit this unique South African Wine Destination this season.
