Price: R2,750 per person
Private guided tour · Minimum 2 guests
Cape Town hotel pick-up and drop-off included
Spend a relaxed day exploring the Cape Winelands on a private wine tour from Cape Town, with visits to selected estates in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek or Constantia and the insight of a qualified local tourist guide.
The experience is about more than moving from one tasting room to the next. Between estates, you will travel through vineyard landscapes, historic towns and mountain valleys, with time to appreciate Cape Dutch architecture, local stories and a leisurely lunch at one of the Winelands’ excellent restaurants.
This is not a rigid, one-size-fits-all wine tour. Your private Cape Winelands experience follows a carefully planned framework, but the estate selection, tasting experiences and pace can be adapted to your interests, wine preferences and budget.
Whether you are drawn to historic wine estates, boutique producers, Méthode Cap Classique, food-and-wine pairings or simply beautiful vineyard scenery, your qualified local guide will help create a relaxed, personalised day.
Choose Your Private Cape Winelands Tour
Choose between a scenic Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tour or a leisurely exploration of the historic Constantia Wine Valley. Each option offers a different experience, with approximately three carefully selected wine estates.
Stellenbosch & Franschhoek Private Wine Tour
Explore two of South Africa’s most celebrated wine regions on a full-day private wine tour from Cape Town.
Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second-oldest town, lies at the historic heart of the country’s wine industry. Its oak-lined streets, Cape Dutch architecture, mountain scenery and renowned wine estates offer a fascinating introduction to the heritage of Cape wine.
Franschhoek brings a different character to the experience, with dramatic valley landscapes, French Huguenot history, exceptional restaurants and a wonderful selection of established estates and boutique wine producers.
This route normally includes approximately three carefully selected wine estates across Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Depending on your interests and the pace of the day, there may also be time to explore the historic streets of Stellenbosch or the charming village of Franschhoek.
Historic Constantia Wine Valley
For guests who prefer less travelling and a more leisurely day close to Cape Town, a private Constantia wine tour offers an excellent alternative.
Wine has been produced in Constantia since 1685, making it the birthplace of South Africa’s wine industry. Its mountain slopes, cooling maritime influence and historic estates have produced internationally celebrated wines for centuries, including the famous Vin de Constance associated with Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile.
Your Constantia wine tour normally includes approximately three selected estates, with time to discover the valley’s exceptional wines, fascinating history, Cape Dutch architecture and beautiful surroundings at a comfortable pace.
