Wild Vine Travel Co

Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour

IMBIZO is the African culture of gathering to tell stories while sharing in a rich tapestry of local food and drink. For those seeking new luxury adventures, join us in celebrating the ancient, untamed spirit of this our continent.


Wild Vine operates as a bespoke travel company, with vineyard to wilderness journeys at the heart of what we do. Each and every journey begins with a conversation to understand your interests, your pace, and your level of adventure, where we address any safety and security concerns.


The business began as an additional service recommending informal itineraries to international business partners and mutual wine enthusiasts, before quite quickly becoming something more considered, as we began to refine routes and curate experiences that felt natural and memorable.

Over time, a philosophy emerged.


In 2026, Wild Vine will extend this philosophy into a new chapter, hosting curated travel experiences around Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour. For only the 7th time ever, and for the first time in 30 years, South Africans will welcome New Zealand players and travellers on a full rugby tour of the Republic and Wild Vine are at the very forefront of those encounters.


By offering accommodation and activities that extend far beyond the stadiums, our itineraries intend to showcase the depth and diversity of South Africa. We invite you to experience the vibrancy of our cities, the beauty of historic vineyards beneath towering mountains, and the long coastal roads that show something different with each bend and turn. We take you off-grid into the vastness of the Karoo, where silence becomes a luxury in itself, and into the Eastern Cape, where unforgettable safari moments unfold as magnificent, natural spectacles.


At our core, we believe that great travel — like great rugby — is built on respect, tradition, and shared values. It’s about connection: to place, to people, and to moments that stay with you long after you return home.
