Wine Tour with Martin
We had an amazing wine tour in Stellenbosch with Martin and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. His knowledge of the region, wineries, and wines was fantastic, and he made the day both enjoyable and memorable for our entire family. He was friendly, engaging, and passionate about what he does. We would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for an unforgettable wine tour in Stellenbosch!

Martin was Great!
Martin was a great person to spend the day wine tasting with. He was very knowledgable and it was a pleasure spending the day with him. He arranged all our tasting and provided recommendations in advance for places to have lunch. We highly recommend Martin!

Great tour through Franschhoek, Stellenbosch & Paarl wine regions!
My wife and I booked a tour through another agency and by chance were assigned Martin as our private guide and so grateful we were as we had such a great day, a highlight of our trip to South Africa and the Wine lands. Our private tour visited wineries in Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Martin, being from Stellenbosch with a long career as a wine maker made him the perfect guide, not only to teach us about the wine making but also educate us on the history and customs in the region and South Africa as a whole which we thoroughly enjoyed as first time visitors to the country. He provided great conversation and took the time to understand what we liked and what interested us. Wine tasting at each location was relaxed and comfortable. Martin had great knowledge of all the wineries and wine varieties on offer and was able to add additional insights to what tasting staff at each winery provided. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region and looking for a friendly and knowledgeable local guide who shares a passion for wine.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review. It was a great pleasure spending the day with you . Hope to see you again in the near future!

An Exceptional Day in Stellenbosch With Martin Stevens - Wine and So Much More
Our experience with Martin was nothing short of wonderful. He arrived on time and, on the drive to Stellenbosch, gave us a really valuable backstory on the area and the places we'd be visiting. It was clear that he had taken the time to thoughtfully pair our specific interests in wine with the winemakers we would visit. We enjoyed every one of them, learned a lot about local wines and wine culture, and deeply appreciated the warm hospitality we received from Martin and all of those we visited. This was a top-notch experience, clearly made possible by Martin's personal background in winemaking and his longstanding, solid relationships in Stellenbosch. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! It was a great pleasure spending the day with you and to see so much appreciation to what our area has to offer.

We can’t wait to book again
I have been on many wine tours, and this was a wonderful day. Martin brings the right amount of charm and knowledge to the day. His winemaking experience helps explain a lot, and his knowledge of South Africa and its history rounds off the excellent choice of wine estates. We were grateful that Martin chose smaller estates with fewer guests and unique wines.
Response from the operator: Thank you! I am also looking forward to your next booking!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.
How much does Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens cost?
+
Prices start at $155 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 Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens?
+
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 Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens?
+
Around 23 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Wine and Cape Town Tours by Martin Stevens 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 Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch, Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Wine Tractor hop-on-hop off wine tasting tour. 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.
