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.
What makes it

Half or full day
From a single unhurried tasting to a full two-valley circuit — built around your schedule.
Bespoke from scratch

Your guide collects you from your hotel, villa or guesthouse — a later start is never a problem.

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.

FAQ
Before you book
How is a private tour different from a group tour?
You get your own guide and vehicle, a route you shape, and a day that runs at your pace. Group days follow a fixed shared itinerary at a lower per-person price.
Can we visit estates that aren't on your website?
Usually, yes. If a cellar takes direct bookings we can build it in — tell us where you'd like to go and we'll make it work.
Is there a minimum group size?
No. Private days run for solo travellers, couples and larger groups. Pricing is per vehicle, so the per-person rate simply falls as the group grows.
Can we add lunch or a food pairing?
Always. A vineyard lunch, a cheese and wine pairing or a chef's table — tell us the kind of day you have in mind.
Can we change the plan on the day?
Yes. Nothing is fixed except the collection time. Start later, stay longer at one estate, or drop the last stop entirely.
Insider tip
Ask your guide for the Stellenbosch back roads between tastings. The farm stalls, mountain passes and quiet lanes are half the day.
