Wine walks and fresh air. What could be better? Add in McGregor culture, a trained guide, and visits to local wine farms - Lords Wines, McGregor Wines, Bemind Wyne, and Tanagra Wine - with all accommodation and meals provided and you're guaranteed to have a fun and relaxing 3 days made in heaven.
Hike a moderate 10-15 km a day with friends or join a group of 6-20 persons and let Fossil Hills do the rest - while you rest! The farm forms part of McGregor Winery and so named after the many ancient fossils found there, as you will be able to see on day 2 and 3 of hiking.
Benefit from the many relaxing activities also on offer on the wine farm in total privacy: hot tubs; birdwatching; mountain biking; kayaking; fishing and more.
