“Discovering the surroundings of Cape Town with a classic car from Cobra is truly amazing. We drove with the top down along the beautiful cliffs, stopped at the Boulder Penguin Colony and enjoyed the wine country. And for the dare devils, go white shark diving at Gansbaai, what a thrill!”
Hire a legendary Anglo-American sports car and embark on a journey to the best wine tastings and fine dining destinations that Cape Town and its surroundings have to offer. Let the Bearleaders - tastemakers like designers, artists and chefs - guide you to the culinary riches of South Africa.

CHEF’S WAREHOUSE BEAU CONSTANTIA
A trendy but no-nonsense restaurant. Well executed comfort food that’s made to share, the oysters especially are a must try.
There’s several Chef’s Warehouses in and around Cape Town but owner and chef Liam Tomlin’s focused approach makes sure they all provide unique dishes of outstanding quality.instagram | maps, in Constantia | favourite of Koen van der Plas, Sommelier
LA PETITE COLOMBE
This sister restaurant to the award winning La Colombe in Constantia surprises with its incredibly tasteful interior and decor.
A true luxury experience, with a wine list and dishes that provide everything you could wish forinstagram | maps, in Franschhoek | favourite of Koen van der Plas, Sommelier
“I visited Cape Town with my business partner Henk Jan Beltman from Tony’s Chocolonely and my friend Margot Janse, the Dutch born chef famous for her restaurant The Tasting Room in Franschhoek. She provided us with all the insights into the hottest restaurants around The Cape”
