Overview

The Cape Winelands near Cape Town are known for their vineyards and historic towns. This small-group luxury tour lasts about nine hours and includes visits to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, two of the region's oldest towns. The tour features wine tastings at four award-winning estates: Haute Cabrière (until October 2025) or Delaire Graff, Tokara, Delheim, and Fairview. Travelers taste up to 20 wines in total. The day begins with pickup from your Cape Town hotel in a luxury, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The guide provides bottled water and live commentary during the journey. In Stellenbosch, the group takes a 30-minute walking orientation through the town's oak-lined streets and Cape Dutch architecture. At Delaire Graff Estate, known for its views over the Banhoek Valley, guests sample premium red and white wines for about 90 minutes. Until October 2025, this stop is replaced by a tasting at Haute Cabrière in Franschhoek, focusing on Méthode Cap Classique sparkling wines and selected still wines. Next is Tokara Wine Estate, set on Helshoogte Pass, where participants taste Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon over one hour with guidance from wine experts. The tour continues to Delheim for a two-hour visit. Here, six wines are tasted, and guests choosing the all-inclusive option enjoy a gourmet main-course lunch. Lunch dishes include slow-roasted lamb shank with Merlot jus, pan-seared line fish with seasonal vegetables, or wild mushroom risotto with parmesan. Following lunch, the group visits Fairview Wine & Cheese Estate for an hour to sample five wines paired with artisan cheeses such as brie, camembert, and goat’s milk varieties. There is also a brief 15-minute stop at Groot Drakenstein Prison to view the Mandela Monument where Nelson Mandela was released in 1990. In Franschhoek village, guests spend 30 minutes on a guided walk through the French-inspired town, followed by free time to visit shops, patisseries, and galleries. The day ends with a return drive to Cape Town, arriving around 5:30 to 6:00 PM. Three ticket options are available: the Classic Tour with tastings at own expense, the Wine Experience including all tastings and cheese pairing, and the All-Inclusive Gourmet option with tastings, cheese pairing, and lunch included.
