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.

Undiscovered Wine Farms in Paarl | Wine in the Cape Blog

Welcome to another Wine in the Cape blog post. This week, we explore five undiscovered wine farms in Paarl. South Africa’s wine regions are world-renowned, and Paarl, the country’s second-largest, offers an experience that goes way beyond the iconic Taal Monument. Often overshadowed by its flashier neighbours, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, Paarl boasts a unique charm – a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

Forget manicured gardens and Michelin-starred restaurants; Paarl’s magic lies in its authenticity. Here, on winding gravel roads nestled between the Drakenstein and Paarlberg mountains of South Africa, you’ll discover generations-old traditions, warm Boland hospitality, and, most importantly, fantastic wines crafted with passion.

While Chenin Blanc and red varietals thrive in Paarl’s hot climate, the region’s true strength lies in its diversity. Winemakers here are unafraid to experiment with lesser-known grapes, pushing boundaries and creating truly unique experiences. So this week, we present five undiscovered wine farms in Paarl.
