Great way to spend a half a day in Joberg
We had one day in Johannesburg as we had a late flight. What a great way to spend a few hours before leaving town. This is a smaller family run operation that takes a lot of pride in showing you a good time. The owner's son, Cole, picked us up at the hotel and made great conversation. He was polite, professional, and informative. The view from the top of the Cableway was incredible. The wine tasting room was very nice and very pleasant. They showcase wines from a specific winery and change each month so the wines you get today may not be the winery you get the next time. The wines we tasted were mixed but my wife really enjoyed one and we bought a bottle to take home. The price was extremely inexpensive, which I think all of the wines are very reasonably priced. My wife and I give this tour our stamp of approval and would recommend highly.
Response from the operator: What a great review, thanks Hoyte it was an absolute pleasure hosting youand your wife. Safe travels and hope to see you on your next trip to our beautiful country.

Good excursion to get out of Johannesburg
It was a nice drive out of Johannesburg to the cableway and interesting to read about the places of historical significance at the top.
Response from the operator: Hi Sandra, thank you for your review and trust you had a wonderful stay in South Africa.

GREAT SERVICE BY TOUR GUIDE
I will discuss our stops, but for me, the guide made this a trip I will never forget. Stuart, the proprietor, kept us informed even before we left the US. Upon our arrival, he made sure to let us know who our guide would be and what time he would meet us. Cole was our guide. He was very personable and friendly. On the drive to the cable car and to the wine tasting, Cole asked us about our travels, etc. By the time we finished, we felt as if we had a new friend. I will review the two stops in detail separately but know they were very good. The cableway was really nice and provided great views of the area. The wine tasting was excellent. The person that told us about the wines was knowledgeable. A good experience at both stops. I give this tour operator my HIGHEST recommendation and am sure you will find them to very good.
Response from the operator: Thank you Ed, appreciate the kind review and trust you will have a safe journey back. Hope to see you again on your next South African adventure. All the best.

Views and wine
Had a fabulous day out with Cole as our driver and guide. Enjoyed the drive through the countryside and finding out about history as we drove. The cable car ride was excellent with spectacular views.Our final stop was the wine tasting and a perfect way to end our day. We highly recommend this tour.

Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $178 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour?
+
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 Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day Tour?
+
Around 9 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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Johannesburg: Wine Tasting and Cableway Half Day 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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. 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 Johannesburg?
+
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 Johannesburg?
+
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.
