The whale-watching capital of South Africa combines two of its great attractions — marine wildlife and Walker Bay wines — in an October festival that coincides with peak whale season. Southern right whales breach just offshore as visitors taste wines from Hemel-en-Aarde Valley producers including Hamilton Russell, Bouchard Finlayson, and Newton Johnson. A uniquely spectacular dual experience.
