The experience
Diamonds & Vine
The morning belongs to diamonds. At The Diamond Works you follow the story of diamonds and tanzanite from the earth to the jeweller's bench, with time in the showroom to see how a finished stone holds the light.
By mid-morning you are in Constantia, the oldest wine valley in the Cape, for two estate visits and tastings and a long vineyard lunch between them. Your driver-guide handles the roads, so the afternoon can unfold at the pace of the valley.

The diamond experience
Every Journey Begins With a Diamond
Each day includes time with diamonds in Cape Town: how they are found, cut and set, the craftsmanship behind a finished stone, and time to look closely in a showroom.
Buying is never part of the plan. If something catches your eye, you deal directly with the jeweller, and nothing you see is included in the tour price.

- Private vehicle with your own driver-guide for the day
- Hotel collection and return within central Cape Town
- The Diamond Works' complimentary Signature Diamond & Tanzanite Experience, by appointment
- Two wine tastings, up to R400 per guest in total
- Lunch, up to R300 per guest
- Bottled water, parking and tolls on the planned route
Not Included
- Jewellery, diamonds, gemstones and rings, which you buy directly from the jeweller if you choose to
- Wine bottles, and tastings beyond the included amount
- Additional drinks, gratuities and personal purchases
- Flights, accommodation and travel insurance
- Collection outside central Cape Town, extra hours or changes after confirmation, unless quoted
