Wish we had known that ahead of time. That said, the tour, once our tour guide picked us up, was excellent. Weather was not great but our guide/driver was a good driver and took us to nice wineries with good wine. The included lunch was very good.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 261 reviews · 9h 30m · from $80

Review of Cape Town’s Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tour, with chocolate pairing, Tokara tasting, wine tram, transport, and practical tips.

“It was a great day from start to finish. We started our morning pairing x5 wines with chocolates, even though it was 9am at this point, we didn’t mind. They aren’t shy on portions, and we visited 6 wineries in total - which meant ALOT of wines (23 glasses to be exact). So if you’re a wine lover, and looking for copious amounts - you’re in the right place. The wine tram was great and the team onboard were equally accommodating and fun, especially with their complimentary tasters on board. Our guide Peter was great - really fun and attentive and very informative. He threw in loads of extra information…”
