What you'll see and do

  1. Stellenbosch

    We leave Cape town and drive to Stellenbosch, between 30-40 minutes’ drive. Your guide takes you on a tour of the historic town which is also home to one of the most prominent universities in Africa. Stellenbosch is renowned for its beautiful scenery and stately heritage buildings. We stop at a premier wine estate and enjoy a short cellar tour and time sampling the finest wines in their collection paired with local cheese. You can purchase your favourite vintage from the wine farm.

  2. Franschhoek

    Our next stop is Franschhoek (meaning French corner). It’s an old Huguenot village and a world-renowned culinary destination for food and wine lovers. After a short tour of the charming town, we jump onto the Franschhoek Wine Tram. The open-air double-decker tram takes visitors on a variety of routes. You can hop-on and hop-off the wine tram to visit the oldest and most distinguished wine estates in the valley. The tram guide tells you more about the history of the French town and its tropical fruit and wine-growing industry. You’ll sample a selection of some of the finest wines produced in the valley and can grab a bite to eat and drink at one of the stops (not included in the rate).

    120 minutes here

  3. Paarl

    En route to Paarl, we take a quick detour to Drakenstein Prison (formerly known as Victor Verster Prison). This is where the great Nelson Mandela spent the last 14 months of his 27-year prison sentence. Mandela famously walked out of Drakenstein Prison a free man on the 11 February 1990. A life-size statue of Mandela has been erected at the prison. In Paarl, you’re taken on a short tour of the picturesque town before we make our way to the famous Spice Route. This popular spot is an all-in-one culinary destination. Spice Route is located on a beautiful wine farm and offers visitors a selection of wine merchants, excellent coffee shops, restaurants and delis, a craft beer brewery, shops, and a children’s play area. You can sample the valley’s finest wines or, for a change, the best craft beer in the Cape. Shop for souvenirs or take a leisurely stroll around the gardens. We leave Paarl late afternoon with full tummies and a real taste of the splendors of the Cape Winelands.

Capetown Winelands Tour with Peter Adams

An Excellent Tour Guide – Peter Adams Peter Adams was once again our tour guide, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was punctual, professional, and attentive throughout the day. When our Robben Island tour was unexpectedly cancelled, Peter went above and beyond to help salvage our day. With his expertise, he offered alternative options and sought our approval before making arrangements, demonstrating his genuine concern for our satisfaction, comfort, and overall experience. His thoughtfulness extended beyond the tour itself. When I experienced an upset stomach, he kindly accommodated a stop at a pharmacy, showing his attentiveness and care for his guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our Winelands tour, starting in Stellenbosch with wine tasting at Lanzerac, followed by a visit to De Graf. Afterwards, we headed to Franschhoek. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to get out and explore this lovely village, which gives us another reason to return! The drive was smooth and relaxing, with surreal landscapes and breathtaking scenery along the way. Despite the unexpected change of plans and our limited time in Franschhoek, this trip turned out to be truly memorable. Cape Town has become an exceptionally special destination for us, thanks to the amazing people we met and, above all, the outstanding experience we had with Peter. Peter’s professionalism, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made all the difference. His ability to adapt to unexpected circumstances while ensuring his guests felt comfortable and well cared for is truly commendable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you, Peter, for making our trip so special. You made an already beautiful destination even more amazing!

Response from the operator: Hi kikaytine Thank you for such a heartfelt review! Peter will be delighted to know his professionalism, flexibility and genuine care made your Winelands tour so memorable. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and wine tastings despite the unexpected changes. Your kind recommendation means a great deal to us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cape Town with MoAfrika Tours! The MoAfrika Tours Team

Half day wine tour

Our trip was half day, 2 vineyards. Our guide was Jimmy who was very friendly, punctual & kept the day rolling along. The vehicle was very comfortable. First vineyard was Marianne in Stellenbosch area which was 6 wines & biltong. The views were magnificent, wine great & the staff very good. Then to Stellenbosch for a 30min walk around town. Then onto the Mandela Prison House museum for photo opportunity. A drive through Franschhoek to see the quaint town. Finally was the large Fairview winery in Paarl - a large commercial winery & cheesery which again had great wines & knowledgeable staff. The day was 8.30 to 2.30ish. Great day & recommended.

Great experience. Still recommend

Overall it was good. The tour guide and driver was fantastic, Abdoul. However our day was rushed since the operator moved our Robben Island tour to the same day as the full day wine tour. In essence the wine tour was cut short. That was the only negative.

Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

How does Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour 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 59. At R 3,090 it sits above the typical similar option (R 2,275), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for travelers who want a full-day outing.

Who is Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour best for?

+

It suits travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 7-hour length, minimum age of 8 and non-refundable terms.

Is Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at R 3,090, above the R 2,275 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.

How much does Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour cost?

+

Prices start at R 3,090 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 Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour take?

+

Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour?

+

Around 11 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour 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 Full-Day Cape Winelands Tour?

+

Included: On-board WiFi; Entrance fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+
