Stellenbosch wine tour

Stellenbosch is about 45 minutes' drive from the Cape Town city centre — 50 km along the N2 and a scenic stretch over the Helshoogte Pass. Close enough for a comfortable full day out with hotel pickup and drop-off included.

Yes — a full day (8–9 hours) is the most popular way to do Stellenbosch. You'll comfortably visit 3–4 estates, with a long vineyard-side lunch, and be back at your hotel in time for dinner. Half days are possible too if you're short on time.

It depends on your tastes. We rotate through a curated shortlist — historic cellar doors, view-led estates, food-pairing specialists and quieter boutique farms — and match 3–4 to what you like to drink. Tell us your preferences and we'll build the route.

Stellenbosch has some of the Winelands' best vineyard-side restaurants — from long tasting menus to relaxed farm-table lunches. We'll book the table; you settle the bill. Let us know if lunch is a priority and we'll route around it.

A private tour is your own guide and vehicle, built around the estates you choose, on your schedule. A small-group tour shares the vehicle and a set route with other guests, at per-person pricing. Both include hotel pickup from Cape Town.

Your tour price covers the guide, vehicle, pickup and drop-off, and all driving and route planning. Tasting fees at each estate and lunch are settled directly with the estates — we'll tell you the tasting costs up front so there are no surprises.

Yes. Several estates have open lawns, play areas and non-alcoholic options, and the route is easy with kids. Tell us you're travelling with children and we'll choose estates that welcome families and pace the day accordingly.

Pricing depends on private vs small-group, group size and duration. Because every group is different we quote on enquiry — tell us your dates and group size and we'll send a fixed price with tasting fees listed, no hidden costs.
