About

Wine Tours Cape Town is an independent guide to wine tours and wine estates in the Cape Winelands. We help you choose a tour or plan a day out in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Constantia, Paarl and Durbanville, all within about an hour and a half of Cape Town.

What you’ll find here

  • Wine tours: half-day, full-day, private and family tours from Cape Town, with the itinerary, the estates you visit and what is included.
  • Wine estates: short, practical profiles of the estates worth visiting, with tasting notes, location and links to each estate’s own website.
  • Wine regions: what makes each valley different, how far it is from the city and which estates to start with.
  • Guides: our planning guide and answers to common questions, such as what a wine tour costs and which farms suit families.

How we research

We base estate and region information on the estates’ own websites, the official wine route organisations (such as the Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Constantia, Paarl and Durbanville wine routes) and other reputable sources. Where we quote a price or opening time, we say when we checked it. Hours and prices change, so always confirm with the estate or tour operator before you go.

We don’t publish made-up reviews or star ratings. Where a tour shows a rating, it comes from our booking partner and is labelled as such.

How booking works

We don’t run tours ourselves. Tours on this site are operated by local tour companies and booked through our partner Viator (a Tripadvisor company). When you book through a link on our site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That helps us keep the guide free and up to date. Prices, availability and cancellation terms are set by the operator and shown on Viator at the time of booking.
