The Full Story
About Us
Cape Vine Ventures was born in Cape Town, the meeting point of mountains, oceans, and vineyards. A region as rich in adventure as it is in flavor. Founded by Marnell Kemp, a passionate health and training expert with a deep connection to the region and passionate about sharing the best of the Cape with curious, like-minded travelers. I bring a unique blend of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm to every adventure I organize or lead. I am a loving wife and mother, so I understand the importance of balance, well-being, and creating memorable experiences for loved ones. With over 15 years of expertise as a Biokineticist, I combine my extensive background in fitness with my love for the outdoors to craft tailored tours that cater to adventure seekers of all levels. I have extensive mountain biking and hiking experience, spending many hours exploring both local trails and terrains across the globe. Whether guiding mountain biking expeditions through hidden trails, offering tips on endurance and technique, or sharing insights into local heritage and exceptional food and wines, I will ensure that every journey is both enriching and safe. My holistic approach to wellness empowers guests to improve their physical well-being while enjoying the beauty, thrill and world class food and wine of the South Africa.
