Real experiences from real travelers
The tour was impeccably organized. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the soil types and history of the region. The lunch at the third estate was a highlight!
Booking through this site was so easy. We chose the small group tour and it felt almost private. The cheese and wine pairing in Paarl was out of this world.
We booked the tram tour and it was the highlight of our Cape Town trip. Vibrant, fun, and the scenery is unlike anything else.
A very solid tour. We visited four different wineries and the selection was diverse. The pickup was right on time at our hotel in Sea Point.
We were worried about taking our 8-year-old, but the 'Family Friendly' tour option was perfect. He loved the grape juice tasting and the farm animals!
Don't leave Cape Town without doing a wine tour. The Constantia premium tour was worth every penny for the history and the chocolate pairing.
The views alone are worth the price. The wine is world-class, but the mountains of Stellenbosch are the real stars of the show.
Everything from the booking process to the drop-off was professional. Our driver was very safe on the roads, which we appreciated.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The best time is during the South African summer (October to April) when the weather is warm and dry. February and March are particularly exciting as they coincide with the harvest season.
Both are excellent but offer different vibes. Stellenbosch is the historic heart with a wide variety of estates and famous red wines. Franschhoek is more compact, highly picturesque, and known as the culinary capital. Most full-day tours visit both!
Many full-day tours include a gourmet lunch, but some leave it optional so you can choose your own meal. Check the specific 'Inclusions' section of the tour you select.
Yes, we offer a wide range of private tours that allow for a customizable itinerary, private vehicle transport, and a more intimate experience with the winemakers.
Most standard full-day tours visit between 3 and 5 different wine estates, providing a varied selection of cultivars and tasting environments.
Yes, many operators offer family-friendly tours that include non-alcoholic grape juice tastings for children and visits to estates with playgrounds or farm animals.
Most tours include pickup from the City Bowl, Sea Point, Camps Bay, and Waterfront areas. Some may charge a small surcharge for further locations like Hout Bay or Bloubergstrand.
Wine tours are an excellent rainy-day activity! Most tastings take place in cozy indoor tasting rooms or cellars, and the misty mountains can be very atmospheric.
The Wine Tram is a unique hop-on-hop-off service in the Franschhoek Valley. It uses a combination of vintage-style trams and tram-buses to transport guests between some of the valley's oldest and most distinguished wine estates.
