Slackpack Vine to Beach Experience

Embark on a Wine Lover’s Journey

Experience our incredible wine walks, trails, and slackpacking adventures, all nestled within the exquisite Hemel en Aarde valley. Situated amidst the stunning Overberg and Cape Fold-belt mountains, this captivating region boasts renowned wine estates like Bouchard Finlayson, Sumaridge, and Spookfontein. Bouchard is celebrated for its prestigious Galpin Peak Pinot Noir, which has garnered numerous accolades. With an impressive 90% of Hemel en Aarde’s wine farms and estates being IPW compliant, this valley is often referred to as ‘Little Burgundy’ for its exceptional production of world-class Cool Climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Join us on this unforgettable adventure, with a minimum group size of 6 people.

Slackpacking Vine to Beach

After the wine walks in the beautiful Hemel en Aarde valley we hike up the old ‘Baboon Path’ to the summit of Aasvolekop at 824 m AMS above mean sea level. This is where we have lunch and freshly brewed coffee or tea with spectacular views of the Hemel en Aarde valley to the north, Maanskynkop and Klein Rivier lagoon to the east. Looking south we have a view of Walker Bay and the pristine Grotto blue flag beach. This also gives us a view of the next days walk which takes us to ‘Sopiesklip.’ From Aasvolekop we descend through Fernkloof reserve, along the ‘pipe track’ into Voelklip and our hotel destination for the night.
