Mountain views and vineyards. The perfect combination.
Winelands Tour (8am-6pm)
No visit to Cape Town can be complete without visiting the surrounding winelands and especially so the vineyards near Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. This area is renowned for exceptional wines and spectacular landscapes – and a wine industry dating to the 1680s, that is the oldest in the world outside of Europe/the Mediterranean and Middle East.
We recommend Cool Cape Travel for a private tour at R3000 per guest (maximum of six guests). With Johannes as both your guide and driver on a full day around the Cape Winelands.
What guests fall in love with most is the storytelling. As you travel, Johannes brings the history of South Africa to life – from the earliest days of the Cape, through the colonial era and apartheid, to the country we know today. It is history told with warmth, honesty and a real love for all the communities of the Cape, and guests often say it’s the part of the day they remember most.
The day is yours. There is no rushing and no fixed script: stop where you like, linger over the views and shape the tour around what you want to see.
And you can explore with a clear conscience. Tours are done in an all-electric car, charged by solar power, so the only thing you leave behind at Cape Point is footprints.
Johannes can customize this tour for you based on your wish list of wine farms to visit or types of wines to taste. His ideal wine tour includes Bartinney / Stark Conde for the views, Thelema for the wines and Jordan for lunch. Other favourites include Meerlust and Antonij Rupert. With Boschendal, La Motte and Babylonstoren popular choices too.
With over 100 five-star reviews, guests describe Johannes as warm, knowledgeable and passionate about Cape Town.
Tours run from 9am-4pm.
