Winelands Experience Tours
Wine touring is about more than just tasting the excellent wines South Africa has to offer. It is also about the beautiful scenery of mountains and vines, the modern and historical architecture of the various people that have settled here, and the cuisine and culture of the locals. On our tours, we will share this with you, leaving you with a lasting impression of the area and an honest perspective of some of our people.
First time wine tourers do not be afraid, we would like to introduce you to wine in the most comfortable and unintimidating manner. We believe that it is about enjoyment of the experience and the moment, hence we steer clear of the pretentious and serious side of wine touring, unless of course, if that is what you specifically request.
You can spend a day with us on one of our scheduled day tours pre-planned around a variety of wine estates to give you a good idea of the mix of modern to historical and small to big. Or you can choose to go on a private tour with your family and friends where we will plan a route around your interests.

The Cape Winelands tours run daily, calling at four South African wine estates and stopping to explore one of the historical towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl or Franschhoek. The full day wine tasting tour routes are changed each day, so if you opt to do more than one day of wine touring with Norman and decide to continue with another tour the next day, you will see a good variety of South African wineries and taste the best wines that the Western Cape has to offer. You can savour the experience and take in the sights without rushing. This relaxed wine tasting tour focuses exclusively on four Cape wine farms per day. We will stop for lunch in one of the local wine region towns or enjoy a meal while visiting one of the Cape’s premium wineries.
The wine tours are conducted in small groups and the group size is limited 10 people, to give you more chance to interact with your qualified South African wine tour guide; and the entertaining tasting room staff at the wine estates in.
For your convenience, you will be collected for your full day wine tour and dropped off again at your Cape Town accommodation.
Prices of the wine tours include wine tastings and exclude the lunch. Meal prices range between R40 and R120 per person, and lunch is for your own pocket.
