Wine tour
Our guide, Henri, was very knowledgeable and great to chat to. The wine yards we visited were all wonderful each uniquely different. We had a fantastic selection of white rose and red wines and enjoyed them all. We bought a few bottles to enjoy ourselves in our holiday apartment too. Definitely recommend as lunch tastings and pairings all included. Alternative tours don’t include this so you could spend more than you wish to.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re so happy to hear you had such a great day with Henri. He really is a great guide, and we’re glad you enjoyed his knowledge and company along the way. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the different estates and all the wines and pairings, and even better that you took a few bottles back to your apartment to enjoy later. We really do believe in making the day easy and enjoyable, with the tastings, pairings, lunch and transport included, so there are no surprises along the way. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you back in Cape Town again one day

Why this scores 68
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 does Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch compare to similar tours in Cape Town?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cape Town, with an Outty Ranking of 68. At R 2,550 it sits above the typical similar option (R 1,475), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 8-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at R 2,550, above the R 1,475 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.
How much does Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at R 2,550 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 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 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?
+
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 Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch?
+
Around 13 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 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.
What is included in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch include hotel pickup?
