Situated in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley among lush vineyards, olive groves and plum orchards, you and your partner can expect a world of exquisite beauty, relaxation and opulence during this sumptuous countryside stay. The lavish La Residence was voted the best hotel in the world by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler.

Following your epicurean experience in South Africa’s culinary capital, two magical nights on safari at Royal Malewane in South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park await. Experience extraordinary style and modern comfort at the lodge and allow the most qualified guiding team in Africa to bring you thrillingly close to the Big 5.

To round off this already opulent lot, De Toren Private Cellar offers you and your partner the opportunity to not only enjoy De Toren’s acclaimed wines throughout your stay, but to also meet the Cellar Master at your venue of choice for a private vintage tasting of the estate’s top wines. Furthermore the boutique winery’s grandiose Bordeaux styled blend, Book XVII, hailed the most luxurious wine ever crafted in South Africa, is on offer. To celebrate the pinnacle of years of winemaking, De Toren is releasing the first-ever Book XVII three litre from its upcoming vintage release, along with six magnificent bottles of Book XVII 2018 vintage.
