Overview

Taste the untold stories of Cape Town’s past on a culinary journey
through its dark legacy of slavery, colonisation, apartheid, and racial oppression. Explore how food became both a tool of oppression
and an act of resistance, with flavours shaped by forced
migration and survival. Walk the streets where history unfolded,
savour dishes with deep-rooted significance, and engage in conversations that challenge, inform, and inspire. This is more
than a food tour—it’s a reckoning with history, one bite at a time!

Activity itinerary

Coffee At The Vine
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Welcome to the Flavours to Freedom Tour. We’ll begin at Coffee at The Vine in the Company’s Garden, where we’ll introduce Cape Town’s complex history over indigenous teas, traditional treats, and storytelling.
Company's Gardens
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Company’s Garden, established in 1652 by the Dutch East India Company, was the first colonial settlement in Cape Town. Enslaved people from Africa and Asia cultivated crops to supply passing ships, reinforcing the colony’s reliance on forced labour. The garden symbolises both colonial expansion and the exploitation of enslaved communities.
Green Market Square
  • 1h
Green Market Square, established in 1696, was a central trading hub in Cape Town, where enslaved people were auctioned alongside goods. It became a focal point of colonial commerce, with enslaved labour shaping the city’s economy. Today, it stands as a reminder of Cape Town’s history of oppression, resistance, and transformation.
Central Methodist Mission
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Central Methodist Church in Cape Town, founded in the 19th century, played a significant role in resisting apartheid and advocating for social justice. During colonial rule, Methodism provided spiritual refuge for the oppressed, including enslaved and marginalised communities. The church later became a sanctuary for anti-apartheid activists and displaced people.
Heritage Square
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Heritage Square in Cape Town is a preserved historical site reflecting the city's colonial past. Originally built in the 18th century, it housed warehouses and businesses reliant on enslaved labour. Today, its restored buildings stand as a reminder of the city’s transformation, preserving stories of oppression, resilience, and cultural heritage.
The Gin Bar
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
We end our journey with a toast at the gin bar, reflecting on Cape Town’s past and present. Enjoy locally crafted gin, chocolate, and conversation, celebrating resilience, culture, and transformation.
