The oldest wine farm in South Africa, Groot Constantia, has launched three new audio tours to guide visitors around its historic heart - all you need to do is download the free app, and take your cellphone.
The 333-year-old estate has long been a favourite with visitors to the Cape, who go to explore the original Cape Dutch Manor House, see the cellar where SA's oldest wine was produced and wander its expansive grounds.
Now, the audio tours - available through the VoiceMap app - talk people through the historic Cloete Cellar, where Grand Constance, South Africa's oldest wine, was produced; the museum; and the vineyards.
The tours are part of the Visitors Route, a specially designed circular trail that includes all the estate's key attractions. Tickets for the route cost R95 and include wine tasting and a glass, but the audio tours can be done with or without a ticket.
The app uses your location to play audio automatically and includes offline maps and GPS autoplay. The estate, however, also has free wifi, which covers all of the buildings and the vineyards - so Instagram away.
Iain Manley, the founder and CEO of VoiceMap, says the tours allow visitors to "follow in the footsteps of celebrated travel writers and adventurers".
"Groot Constantia has always been one of Cape Town's most important destinations, and we hope that visitors immediately get an understanding as to why this is when they do the tour."
The tours include impressions of the estate from travellers over the centuries, as well as interviews with historians. Visitors can also view a bottle of Grand Constance that was produced there in 1821...
