Why this tour
A private wine tour is your day, run your way. Your own guide, your own vehicle and a route built around the estates you actually want to taste at — start later, stay longer at the one you love, skip the ones you don't.
We run private days across Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Constantia, Paarl and the Helderberg, from a relaxed half-day to a full circuit across two valleys. Tell us what you like to drink and how you like to travel; we'll do the planning, the bookings and the driving.
Best for couples, families and celebrations — anyone who'd rather set the agenda than follow one.
Your day. Your route. Your pace. The only fixed thing in it is the time we collect you.

A sample day
How the day unfolds
Timings shift with the season and the estates on the day — but the shape of it stays the same.
- 09:00
Pickup, your time
Your guide collects you from your hotel, villa or guesthouse — a later start is never a problem.
- 10:00
First estate, your choice
Straight to an estate you wanted to visit, or one we recommend for the wines you actually like to drink.
- 12:00
Second tasting
A different valley, a different style. Change your mind on the way — the route bends around you.
- 13:30
Long lunch
A vineyard lunch with no return time looming. Stay for coffee, or stay for another glass.
- 15:30
A last stop, or a viewpoint
One more cellar, a scenic detour, or an early finish — the day is yours to shape.
- 17:00
Back where you started
Dropped at your door with the rest of the evening free.
What it costs
Private days, priced per vehicle
A private day is charged for the guide and vehicle, not per head — so the price per person drops the more of you travel. Tasting fees and lunch are usually settled on the day unless your quote includes them.
