I am heading to Cape Town for a week in January and wondered if the collective Ph wisdom would be able to offer some recommendations for things to do and places to eat. I have already booked the cable car for Table Mountain and tickets for Robben Island. I was hoping to do a wine tour for a day but I’m not sure where would be the best area to go to.

Thanks.

O/P here. My wife and I had an amazing week in Cape Town and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for some winter sun.
As suggested, there is plenty to do. Highlights of the trip were Table Mountain (we managed to miss the reported queues), a day driving down to Cape Point via Boulders Bay and back along the Chapmans Peak Highway and a day exploring the vineyards. We ate very well. We started off with a superb lunch at the Chefs Warehouse at Beau Costantia and we had a great dinner at the Pot Luck Club. The standout was dinner at La Colombe. The meal was expensive compared to the others, especially when doing the drinks “flight”, but worth every penny. It really is a great place. We were also surprised by the Two Oceans restaurant down at Cape Point where we had a cracking seafood platter.
Thank you once again to all those that made suggestions.
