The experience
About this tour
Wine, cheese, chocolate, lunch and great company, all in one easy day out. Our group full-day wine tour takes you through the Cape Winelands with a professional guide, visiting several estates across Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl.
It's the best-value way to experience the Winelands. You'll taste everything from crisp whites and bold reds to Cap Classique, Cape port and brandy, explore working cellars and vineyards, and learn how each is made. Join as a couple, a solo traveller or a group of friends. Wine beginners are just as welcome as seasoned tasters.

The full day is the format the Winelands was built for: a valley in the morning, a long lunch, and a last tasting as the light goes gold.
What makes this day different
Why this tour
Enough time to settle in
A half day visits the Winelands. A full day lets you understand one. There is time for the cellar tour, the second glass, and the conversation that starts after the tasting finishes.
Lunch built into the route
The day is planned around a proper seated lunch rather than a rushed stop, which is why the afternoon feels like a new day rather than a continuation of the morning.
More than one valley possible
A full day has the hours to pair Stellenbosch with Franschhoek, or Constantia with the city, when a single region is not quite the whole story.
Is this your kind of day?
Who it's for
Groups of friends
A shared day with enough time for everyone’s preference to get a look in.
First proper Winelands day
Visitors who want one substantial day rather than several shorter outings.
Photographers
Anyone who wants the vines in morning and late-afternoon light on the same route.
A tip from your guide
Leave the biggest estate for mid-morning and the smallest for last. Cellar doors are busiest late morning, and the quietest tasting of the day is usually the one you remember.
