Discover Cape Town’s Premier Full-Day Winelands Wine Tour – Stellenbosch & Franschhoek Experience
Embark on a luxury full-day wine tour from Cape Town that explores South Africa’s world-famous Winelands. Visit the historic towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, renowned for award-winning wines, breathtaking vineyards, and rich heritage. Choose from our exclusive small group tours (max 15 guests) or an all-inclusive private tour tailored just for you.

Your journey begins with a hotel pickup in Cape Town in a comfortable air-conditioned van—either a small group vehicle or a private car for your party. Travel via the scenic Helshoogte Pass, with spectacular views of Table Mountain and Cape Winelands landscapes.

First, explore Stellenbosch, South Africa’s oldest wine-producing region. Wander through charming streets filled with Cape Dutch architecture and boutique shops. Enjoy a curated wine tasting at a top estate featuring signature varietals like Pinotage, paired with gourmet chocolates or cheese.

Next, visit Franschhoek, known as the “French Corner,” where you’ll ride the iconic Franschhoek Wine Tram—tickets included! Hop on and off at acclaimed wine estates like Rickety Bridge, Franschhoek Cellar, and Grand Provence or Delaire Graff, enjoying tastings surrounded by stunning mountain vistas.

If you select the private tour, indulge in a gourmet lunch with wine pairings at one of Franschhoek’s renowned estates. Small group guests have free time to enjoy local restaurants and boutiques.

Throughout the day, you’ll taste wines at five premium estates, experiencing diverse terroirs and winemaking traditions.

On the return trip, pause for a moving visit to Groot Drakenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela was held during his final years of incarceration. Snap photos with the iconic bronze statue and learn about South Africa’s path to freedom.
