Our first stop takes us to the Woodstock Exchange, a mixed-use venue featuring galleries, funky shops, and cafes.
Have a look around the Woodstock Exchange and hear a bit about the area and its current redevelopment before heading to another shop owned by a friendly local. Here, we go for a taste of something sweet and hear about how artisan ice cream has become a new trend in the Cape.
From the Exchange, we walk over to The Old Biscuit Mill, another cool Cape Town space devoted to unique shops, great food, and community events. We stop in for a tasting of coffee and chocolate, both roasted right on the premises.
We end the tour with a few more tastings, this time of some local gin and beer, along with a peek into a distillery. If we make a good impression, they might just let us stay after closing.
The area shuts down around 6 pm, so it would be a good idea to make our way towards the city center at that point. Your guide can give you all the necessary information on how to get back and what else to see and do while you’re in Cape Town.
