A
word on the scenery and history:
The Bottelary hills are ranging from 150 -350m in
height en route. One of the oldest wine regions
in SA. The 4x4 Wine Bus® stops at spectacular
panoramic views, travelling in part of an historical
original Cape wagon route, visiting the ancient
water spring and rock pool that continues to supply
this area for hundreds of years with cool clear
abundant water used by travelers in days gone by.
Great for a cool dip en route in hot summers!
The ideal is from 2-4 passengers per 4x4
Wine Bus. If a larger group enquiry should wish
to celebrate a Birthday or Anniversary event or
a company outing; we simply add another bus or two
and travel in convoy.
