About this activity
Departing your accommodation, you're taken along the Stellenbosch Wine Route to the Zevenwacht Wine Estate, located about 20 minutes from Cape Town. Admire scenery that is completely different from the landscape of the Cape Peninsula. Numerous grapes are grown in the region, such as chenin blanc, shiraz, pinotage, and the méthode cap classique (sparkling wine). Upon reaching the small but vibrant town of Stellenbosch, enjoy your first tasting at a wine cellar.
Next up is the Marianne Wine Estate, located in Franschhoek, an old Huguenot village translated as the 'French Corner.' You will be enchanted by the town's charm and tranquil atmosphere while you taste of the region's best wines and cheeses.
En route to Paarl, your guide will point out Drakenstein Prison, a low-security prison where Nelson Mandela spent the last part of his sentence for campaigning against apartheid. On arrival in the town, which offers a fascinating window into Afrikaner cultural traditions, learn about the former haven for Huguenot pioneers who came from Europe at the beginning of the 17th century.
Your day trip ends with the return to Cape Town and drop-off at your hotel.

We had a great experience with this tour! Our guide, Franco, was knowledgeable, polite and friendly, and he created a laid back atmosphere for all 9 guests. We toured three wineries and stopped for coffee and a lunch. Hotel pickup was incredibly convenient!
This tour was by far my favorite during my visit to South Africa. The vineyards we visited were top notch and I really impressed by the wine/food samples. Our tour guide provided a lot of information about this region and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. If you want to see a beautiful, historic area of the country, as well as looking for a tour which is value-for-money, this is it.
The tour was great. Nice to join some fellow travellers. Driver was excellent. I thought that the vineyards were gorgeous, but I was disappointed in 3 out of the 4 vineyards wine selection tastes.
