The Journeys

Each Cork & Collar journey is built around a particular kind of gentleman — his pace, his pleasures, and what he wants most from a week away from the ordinary. Each itinerary blends indulgence, adventure, and refined hospitality across the Western Cape's legendary wine country.

 

Browse the journeys below, or explore the pursuits that shape them.

Cork & Collar Course & Coast Image.jpg
7 Nights · Cape Town & Garden Route

Course & Coast

Four courses, four very different fairways, and a coastline that keeps showing up between holes. Steenberg, Pearl Valley, Arabella, and Fancourt, closing out at The Links with a whisky library and a last Black Tie dinner.

11 Nights · Cape Town, Winelands & Safari

Cellar & Bush

Four nights at Ellerman House, three at Leeu House, and three deep in the bush at Cheetah Plains. The complete arc, from ocean to vineyard to wilderness, without a single rushed transition.

7 Nights · Cape Town & Winelands

Edge & Elegance

Four nights above the Atlantic at Ellerman House, three nights in the Winelands at Sandstone House. The gentleman gives way to the daredevil. Shark cages, paragliding off Lion's Head, a yacht with a poker table, heli-biking into Jonkershoek.

7 Nights · Cape Town, Winelands & Overberg

Fynbos & Cellar

Three nights in Cape Town, two nights deep in the Cape Winelands, and two nights at the edge of the continent at the utterly private Grootbos. This journey traces the western seaboard from the Atlantic to the wild Overberg coast

The Persuits

What shapes a journey

Each journey is built around the pursuits our guests value most. Most journeys combine several — the cellar and the fairway, the coast and the boma fire.

Wine & the Cellar

Private tastings, barrel rooms, blind flights with Joseph Dhafana, and dinners in estates that don't take reservations. The Cape Winelands at their most unhurried.

The Fairway

Steenberg, Pearl Valley, Arabella, Fancourt. Four courses across the Western Cape, each with a view worth the round.

Ocean & the Coast

Private yachts, Atlantic sundowners, shark cages off Simon's Town, paragliding into Camps Bay. The Cape coastline, on your terms.

Safari Expeditions

Private tastings, barrel rooms, blind flights with Joseph Dhafana, and dinners in estates that don't take reservations. The Cape Winelands at their most unhurried.

​

Evening Affairs

Rare whisky, fine cigars, chef's tables, and conversation that runs past midnight. The part of the journey most guests remember longest.

Adrenaline

For the gentleman who requires more. Heli-biking, cage dives, e-foil sessions, and a yacht poker table. Scored for the highlight reel.

A small number of journeys are offered each year, to the right gentlemen.
