Since you've been there before, you may have already done something like this, but I loved the drive down to the Cape of Good Hope, stopping at Groot Constantia on the way down and Simons Town (for the penguins) on the way back.
We didn't wind up doing this, but I've heard great things about Hermanus/Walker Bay, too -- a bit farther drive, but I like the wines I've had from the region and the whale watching is supposed to be spectacular -- if it's the right time of year for it.
