Skip to Cape Winelands Accommodation with honeymoon packages
For a whimsical, carefree day, hop on the Franschhoek Wine Tram. The hop-on, hop-off routes take you through various historic estates. For a honeymoon, book a private hop-on experience or the curated Curated Wine Tour for a more exclusive feel.
If you want something relaxed yet deeply romantic, book a private picnic basket at Boschendal or Vergenoegd Löw. You’ll get a blanket, a basket filled with artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and fresh farm bread, and a perfectly chilled bottle of local MCC (Méthode Cap Classique—South Africa’s sparkling wine). Experience fine dining and some of the most incredible wines on your honeymoon.
The best weather is from November – March. Days are warm, sunny, and perfect for long alfresco dinners. February/March is also harvest season, so the valleys are buzzing with energy.
However, honeymooners tend to love the romance of winter from June – August. It is incredibly romantic to sit by a roaring log fire at a wine estate with a glass of local Pinotage or Cabernet Sauvignon.
It is difficult to choose where to stay on your honeymoon in the Cape Winelands. We would personally say that in winter, it is worth going more upmarket. The prices are lower so it isn’t as expensive as the summer months.
These are our Cape Winelands hotels that have honeymoon offers. All the hotels will do something special for honeymooners so please let us know if you have a specific hotel in mind.
