Underground cellar tour wine

In the early days of wine making, before stainless steel, farmers would create underground cooling vaults for their wine. On Weltevrede, large areas were dug underground, river stones were brought up from the Breede River by donkey and cart and then cement cisterns were cast. These cisterns would annually be rubbed with molten beeswax to seal each hole and crack and prevent the wine from coming into contact with the raw cement. Since then these cisterns were virtually forgotten. Join us on a unique experience of timelessness, while we take you on a tour of the underground tunnels, including a wine tasting by candlelight. When you walk through the tunnels, you experience the feeling of generations ago: candlelight, silence, spider webs, the dampness and smell of wine aging, oak barrels and burning wicks. Suitable for adults only and may form part of another small group. Tunnel tour with wine tasting included for four adults. Pre-booking is essential.
