Enjoy a first hand view of these working vineyards, then on to a breathtaking wine-tasting among spectacular views.

Experience this world renowned winery, designed by famed architect Gawie Fagan. Afterwards, enjoy a seasonal, bistro-style cuisine at the Klein Constantia Bistro.
The wine estate, Klein Constantia, dates to 1685, when Simon Van Der Stel planted the first vineyards with a variety of Muscat grapes at what today we call Klein Constantia, guests can enjoy a journey back in time.

Klein Constantia has historical links dating back to George Washington, Jane Austen and Napoleon Bonaparte, who while in exile in the 1800s would only drink “Vin de Constance”, which is still sold today. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the world's most beautiful backdrops, and anyone (any age) is welcome on this experience.

Important Information


Check In Time

Please check in 20-30 minutes minutes prior to your scheduled Take Off time. This will allow enough time for us to take weights, conduct a safety briefing and issue tickets. After this has been conducted you can relax on the viewing deck and take some great pre-flight pictures and enjoy the atmosphere.

Best Pictures

For the best pictures we recommend that you wear darker coloured clothing as whites reflect off the inside of the windows and can spoil that epic shot.

Seating

Please be aware that seating allocation on all our sharing flights are done according to weight and balance which is done during your safety briefing and ticketing. Should you want to choose your own seats you can book an Exclusive Flight at the cost of one additional seat and you are guaranteed the ‘best seats in the house.

Weather

All flights are weather dependent. Should the conditions not be ideal for flying we will try to reschedule to the next best available flight window. Note that the temperature in the sky is exactly the same as on the ground in case you are wondering what to wear.
