How do I book a wine tour through Wine in the Cape?

Browse our tours or build a custom itinerary, then send an enquiry with your dates and group size. We come back to you personally — usually within a few hours — with a proposed route, pricing and availability. You don't pay anything until the plan is confirmed.

Can I build my own multi-day wine route?

Yes. Our custom tour builder lets you choose estates, stays and experiences across the Cape Winelands, then sends the whole plan to us in one enquiry. We'll refine transport, timing and bookings for you.

Do you arrange transport and a driver?

We do. Most of our tours include a private driver-guide in a comfortable vehicle, and we can arrange anything from a sedan for two to a mini-coach for larger groups. Self-drive itineraries are available too if you prefer your own wheels.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (December to April) and weekends, aim for 2–4 weeks ahead. Mid-week and off-season tours can often be arranged with a few days' notice. Last-minute requests are welcome — we'll always try to make it work.

What size groups can you accommodate?

From couples to coachloads. Private tours typically run for 2–12 guests, but we regularly plan wine experiences for corporate groups, weddings and celebrations of 50 or more.

Is wine tasting included in the price?

Most tour prices include tastings at the estates on your route. Where a premium tasting or food pairing is optional, we'll make that clear in your quote so there are no surprises.

Groot Constantia Wine Estate: A Story That Spans Centuries

Established in 1685, Groot Constantia Wine Estate has produced wine for over 300 years. Its bottles once appeared on the tables of kings and emperors. Today, the farm blends that legacy with modern winemaking, creating award-winning wines shaped by cool ocean breezes and deep heritage.

Although rich in history, Groot Constantia remains fresh and accessible. Visitors can explore the original manor house, walk leafy pathways, and taste wines shaped by both place and time.

Tasting Options at Groot Constantia

The estate offers seated tastings at two venues. Guests can taste at the modern tasting room near Jonkershuis Restaurant or at the historic Cloete Cellar near the museum. Both locations are casual, welcoming, and open every day.

You can also enjoy the popular wine and chocolate pairing, which matches five wines with handcrafted chocolates. It’s a fast, flavourful way to explore the range. For something more in-depth, try the Visitors Route Experience, which includes a tasting, museum visit, and self-guided tour of the estate grounds.
