Interesting, quirky and refreshing
The rum tasting experience was fantastic. Guided by the knowledgeable and witty Wayne, we learnt so much about the history and art of making rum. The signature rums we tasted, paired with the right hints of flavour, was delicious and refreshing. Rounding it off with a detectable honey liqueur was the perfect dessert. This experience comes highly recommended. Thank you Wayne and Team for making our experience one to remember.

Very informative and great rum!
Cape of Storms is a family run small batch rum distillery in Cape Town. The tour and tasting are highly entertaining and very informative. The three rums currently in production are really tasty. The owners explained their philosophy for making the rum which is to use the purest ingredients with no additives whatsoever. The passion for their products certainly shines through! We can highly recommend a visit.
Response from the operator: So please we could share our story and time with you during your visit to the distillery, please come by and visit with us again.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in 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 Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience South African Craft Rum tasting and distillery tour in 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.
