How much does a wine tasting cost?

Tasting fees start from around R50–R150 per person for a standard flight and rise to R400+ for premium and paired experiences. Each estate's fee is shown on its page, and we bundle tastings into your tour price where possible.

Are children welcome at wine estates?

Most estates are family-friendly, with lawns, play areas and non-alcoholic options for younger guests. Look for the child-friendly marker on each estate, and we'll always build a route that works for the whole family.

Can I buy wine at the estate and have it shipped home?

Yes. Nearly every estate ships locally and many ship internationally. We can help arrange shipping or simply store your purchases in the vehicle for the day.

Are the estates open on public holidays?

Most are open on public holidays, though hours can shift and some close on Christmas Day and Good Friday. We'll confirm opening times for your chosen dates when we build your route.
