Fantastic tour. High recommended!
Julian was our super star guide for the day - he was fun, energetic, knowledgeable and organised…. The weather was terrible but nothing was a problem for him. He made it a perfect day to drink wine! Four wine stops with amazing food pairings and a tasty lunch. We got to sample so many different options and learn about South African wine. Highly recommended- really enjoyed our day, thank you so much!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It means the world to us that you had such a fantastic day, even with the less-than-perfect weather. Thankfully, a great glass of wine always helps. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Julian. He'll be absolutely thrilled to hear them. He truly loves sharing his passion for South African wine, and it's wonderful to know he helped make the day so enjoyable despite the rain. We're so pleased you enjoyed the wine estates, the food pairings and learning more about our incredible wine region. Thank you for choosing Wine Flies to be part of your Cape Town adventure.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $2550 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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch 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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and 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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch?
+
Around 12 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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and 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 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 of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. 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.
