A little taste of our favorite spots and experiences in Cape Town and Franschhoek - from breathtaking views to delicious bites, we’re so excited to share them with you! If you’re interested in experiences - whether solo, as a couple, or with a group - such as coastal tours, guided hikes, or other curated adventures listed below, our wonderful local partner Alex Blyth can help arrange everything. You can reach her at alex@zuricollective.com - just let her know you’re part of Maxine & Jake’s Wedding Party.

Boulders Beach - Visit The Penguins On The Beach

Cape Town, WC 7995, South Africa

Visit Cape Town’s famous colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach, a truly special spot where you can stroll the boardwalks or even dip your toes in the water alongside them. The trip takes you along Chapman’s Peak, one of the most beautiful oceanside drives in the world. Our travel agent (Poppy Blyth) can help arrange your transportation so you can enjoy the journey and the penguins stress-free.

Oranjezicht City Farm Market

Granger Bay Boulevard, Cape Town, WC 8001, South Africa

A weekly farmers’ market featuring fresh artisanal foods, handmade goods from local artisans, and unique treats. Enjoy light refreshments including coffee, tea, cordials, and healthy bites - go hungry and enjoy breakfast or lunch on the farm! Market Hours: • Saturday: 8 AM – 2 PM • Sunday: 8:30 AM – 2 PM • Wednesday: 4 PM – 9 PM

Franschhoek Wine Tram

Franschhoek, WC 7690, South Africa

Hop aboard the Franschhoek Wine Tram for one of the most fun (and relaxed) ways to explore the Winelands. Ride through stunning vineyards, sip world-class wines, and leave the driving behind while taking in the views. We recommend booking an early slot around 9-10am to start the day. The tram allows you to hop on and off at each stop, so you can visit as many wineries as you like or simply spend more time at two or three favorites. If you have ten or more people together, you may even end up with a tram mostly to yourselves. The Orange and Navy lines are both great options, and Babylonstoren is a perfect stop for lunch along those routes. Just a small warning… you’ll definitely feel it after! Be sure to book well in advance. 🍷

Sea Point Promenade + V&A Waterfront

Cape Town, WC 8001, South Africa

Stroll along the beautiful sea front promenade down to the V&A Waterfront, a lively hub of shopping, dining, and entertainment right by the harbor. Explore the piers, savor local bites, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere and stunning waterfront views. Don’t miss the Oranjezicht City Farm Market before or after!

Lion's Head

Cape Town, WC 8001, South Africa

Ready for a bit of adventure? Take on the strenuous hike to the top of Lion’s Head for panoramic views of Cape Town, the ocean, and Table Mountain. Please note: this is a tough hike and not for everyone - best suited for those who are comfortable with steep climbs and rocky terrain.

Table Mountain

Cape Town, WC, South Africa

Whether you’re up for a hike to the summit or just want to soak in the views from a lookout point, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking - don’t forget your camera! If hiking isn’t your thing, you can also take the famous rotating cable car to the top, which glides up the mountain in about 4-5 minutes while slowly turning to give you 360-degree views of Cape Town, the ocean, and the surrounding peaks.

Café Caprice
