    Great last day in Cape Town

    We had a great tour yesterday. Group of 10 with Angelo as our guide who made us all feel very included. Our lunch was amazing and the tastings with cheese and chocolate were a very special touch. Pick up was spot on time and stops along the way were appreciated. Angelo is a great guide and value of this tour was fantastic.

    Wine tour South Africa

    Everything was timed perfectly and the locations we stopped at were exceptional. The wines were of good standard and the trip was very good value for money.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for a fabulous review.

    A nice day out

    An enjoyable day slightly marred by our driver arriving 30 minutes after the agreed pick up time. He was apologetic but nevertheless it was not a good start.

    Response from the operator: Apologies for the delay with your pickup. Glad you still enjoyed the tour.

    Great wine and excellent tour guide

    This was an excellent tour. Bonga, the tour guide had a wealth of knowledge and information about the areas we travelled through and the wineries. We visited 2 wineries, plus lunch at Franschhoek celler and sparking wine in Stellenbosch. The wine and cheese pairing, lunch with wine, wine and chocolate pairing and the sparkling wine were all included in the costs. The tour also included a lovely stop in Franschhoek, a pretty and delightful town. This was a small group tour which suited us very well. Overall a wonderful day out, with some great wines and an excellent guide and worthwhile doing.

    Response from the operator: What a good vibe. Glad you enjoyed the day with Bonga.

    Excellent tour of the...

    Excellent tour of the winelands with Nazeem, our guide. We were a small group of seven which worked really well - great mix of personalities. All included in the price we had a 'starter' of wine tasting with cheese pairings, followed by an excellent main meal at a local restaurant with local wines, followed by a 'desert' wine tasting with chocolate pairings. Then to finish the tour we had champagne in a wine bar in Stellanbosch. The transport and guide was great. All together, a great tour - highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour with Nazeem.

    Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.

    How much does Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $121 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stellenbosch usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stellenbosch is not rushed.

    Is Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,182 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch?

    +

    Around 414 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stellenbosch can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stellenbosch and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stellenbosch within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Stellenbosch?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Stellenbosch experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Wine Tractor hop-on-hop off wine tasting tour, Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Stellenbosch?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Stellenbosch?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
