Constantia Glen Winery
After pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town at 9:30am we will set off on our Constantia Winelands private tour which we have dubbed: The Simon van der Stel wine tour. We will travel from Cape Town along the M3 passing Rhodes Memorial and the University of Cape Town (UCT) and proceed on the M41 to our first wine stop for the day which is Constantia Glen wine estate. Perched high up on the hill with amazing views of mountains and vineyards, Constantia Glen was originally part of the Simon van der Stel farm. After undergoing farming changes including forest hills farming and cattle stud farming, it returned to its original farming of wine. The wine production is 70% Red and 30% White cultivars.

Groot Constantia
We then proceed to the historical Groot (meaning Big) Constantia wine estate. Groot Constantia is the oldest wine producing farm in South Africa since 1685 and even after the farm had changed ownership, it still maintains the production of high quality, award-winning wine. The farm produces 70% Red and 30% White cultivars. We can recommend a beautiful lunch either at Simon’s Restaurant or at Jonkershuis Restaurant, both set on this exquisite wine estate.

Buitenverwachting
We end off our Simon van der Stel wine tour with Buitenverwachting (meaning Beyond expectation) wine estate. This too, had formed part of the original Constantia farm which was found by Simon van der Stel. Even though it changed ownership, they retraced the roots of the estate and restored the historical buildings on the farm. The farm produces 8 % Red, 90% White and 2 % Rose cultivars. From there we make our way back to Cape Town where guests will be dropped off back at their accommodation.
60 minutes here · Admission included
Klein Constantia
Our next stop is at Klein (meaning Little) Constantia wine estate. Set on the foothills of the Constantiaberg, with spectacular views across False Bay, Klein Constantia was also part of the Constantia farm by Simon van der Stel in 1685. Through its decomposed granite soil slopes and cool ocean breeze, Klein Constantia produces some of South Africa’s top wine. The farm produces 30% Red and 70% White cultivars.

Beautiful vineyard a short distance from Camps Bay. Lots of outside seating and stunning views. The service was spot on and I enjoyed the wines. I had the best meal here in the whole of our stay - crispy fish which was cooked to perfection with a delicious chilli/red onion topping. I would recommend booking. We went early due to an afternoon flight but on leaving at 1.30, couldn't spot an empty table.
Response from the operator: Dear HClaire, Thank you for your wonderful review! 🍷 We’re delighted you enjoyed the Constantia Winelands — such a hidden gem just moments from Camps Bay. The combination of world-class wines, breathtaking views, and your perfect crispy fish dish sounds like a highlight of your trip, and we’re thrilled to have been part of that memory! We appreciate the tip about booking ahead — especially during busy midday hours. 😊 Wishing you more unforgettable food and wine adventures ahead, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon! Warm regards, The Beyond Africa Safaris Team #CapeTownWineTours #ConstantiaWinelands #BeyondAfricaSafaris #TripadvisorReview #LuxuryTravelSouthAfrica

Disappointing to say the least.
This tour started out with our tour guide arriving almost 20 mins late to pick us up. He did call the hotel to inform but we were not given the message. After he finally got there he didn’t even know what tour we were doing and asked us what our itinerary was if which I explained to him that we signed up for the tour that was online and we wanted to do what was suggested online. He was unaware of what the suggested wineries were online. He was completely uninformed by the company. I had to find the website and show him. He was very nice just not informed and I didn’t blame him I blame the company that sent him with no info. He knew nothing about the wineries either (so unlike the other wine tours we took). I was aware when booking the tours that the tastings were not included but the website listed the fees of the tastings so we knew what to expect. Well we should have know what to expect. The first winery (Klein Constantia) was supposed to be R100 per person and we got there and were told that they don’t have a tasting for that amount and it was actually R250 per person. Not to mention they were had no reservation and the winery had no idea we were coming (which was an issue later in the day). I asked the tour guide to call the company and he did and was told there was nothing they could do as the price of the tasting had increased recently. I asked the winery and they stated that their fees had not changed in several months so this was not true. We were offered no apology and no remedy but to pay!! This happened over and over all day at each winery we went to. The fee was higher than we expected and had no reservations. At one winery we were almost turned away bc they were busy but the tour guide spoke to them and we were able to do the tasting but we all had to do the same tasting and had to stand at the bar. Very disappointing day. So much so we actually forfeited the last winery and just went back to the hotel.
Response from the operator: Dear Demetrick Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your experience with the Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour. I sincerely apologize for the disappointing aspects of your trip, and I appreciate your insights, which are crucial for our improvement. While we do make bookings with the wineries, it's important to note that during high season, some wineries operate on a first-come, first-served basis, which can lead to unexpected issues. Regarding the tasting fees, we offered to cover the difference for you, but I understand that you declined the offer. We have also taken steps to improve transparency by updating our website to include the wine tasting fees more clearly. We want to ensure that future guests have all the necessary information for a seamless experience. I appreciate your understanding, and I hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with the experience you expected and deserve. Please feel free to reach out to us directly to discuss your feedback further. Sincderly D Govender

Fantastic visit to the Contantia Vinyards
We were picked up from Cape Town cruise terminal by our private guide Charlton. We asked to go immediately for a decent coffee (cruise ship coffee was dreadful) and he took us to an amazing coffee shop in Cape Town. We then embarked on our tour of two Constantia Vineyards including wine tasting. It was a brilliant day and experience, which was very much aided by the knowledge, wisdom and company of Charlton. He returned us to the airport in good time for our flight home. I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you
Response from the operator: Good day Valued Client Thank you for this touching note. It has been our absolute pleasure to serve you, and we hope that you return soon to Cape Town.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $242 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town?
+
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 Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town?
+
Around 1 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Constantia Winelands Private Wine Tour from Cape Town 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. 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 Cape Town?
+
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 Cape Town?
+
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.
