Cape Winelands Tour

This full-day Cape Winelands Tour takes you through Cape Town’s wine country lined with vineyards and a magnificent mountainous backdrop. The journey takes you through Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl, each with its own unique characteristics yet boasting the same passion and intricate production of world-class wines.

The town of Franschhoek is positioned in a lush valley enclosed by breath-taking mountains. Expansive vineyards and French-style homesteads blanket the landscape with the town being well-known for its gourmet cuisine, cafes, delis, and historical architecture. On the Cape Winelands Tour the wine tasting In Franschhoek is not only a flavour sensation but also a scenic experience indulging in the natural magnificence of the area.

Stellenbosch, also known as the ‘City of Oaks’, has large oak trees lining its streets with Cape Dutch architecture, quaint cafes, and galleries. The university town is the second oldest wine region in South Africa and home to almost 14% of the country’s wine production. The area is proudly associated with extraordinary quality wines and beautiful wine farm settings ideal for picnics, hiking, and enjoying artful cuisine.

Paarl, the final wine-stop on the Cape Winelands Tour, was founded in 1687 and is the third oldest settlement in South Africa. With its rich cultural and historical heritage, the town features Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Cape Dutch architecture surrounded by gorgeous wine estates. Paarl offers everything from Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon Pinotage, and Shiraz. Just outside Paarl lies the Drakenstein Prison. This site is the place where Nelson Mandela spent his last years in captivity.
