Description
Treat yourself to a day in South Africa’s world-famous wine country, where breathtaking scenery, rich heritage, and exceptional wine collide. This full-day escape from Cape Town takes you into the heart of the Cape Winelands, visiting the charming towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl.
Start in Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second-oldest town, framed by oak-lined avenues and Cape Dutch architecture. Wander the historic centre, learn about the town’s role in wine development, and visit one of its historic estates for an optional wine tasting and cellar tour (not included).
Next, head to Franschhoek, nestled in a scenic valley and known as the culinary capital of South Africa. Here, you'll enjoy more wine-tasting opportunities and have free time to explore the boutiques, galleries, and gourmet restaurants at your own pace. This is also where you’ll stop for lunch — either at a vineyard or in the town — at your own expense.
Round off the day in Paarl, with its dramatic granite domes and lush vineyards. Visit a boutique wine estate for a final optional tasting session before heading back to Cape Town through rolling vineyard landscapes.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or simply seeking a relaxing day in nature, this tour is a delightful celebration of Cape Town’s countryside charm.
PLEASE NOTE
This tour requires a minimum of two participants in each reservation.
