Can I choose which wineries to visit?

Yes. You can request specific vineyards recommended by friends or sommeliers. Your guide will also tailor the route on the day based on your interests, whether that's wine tastings, food pairings, or scenic drives.

How many wines will I taste?

You'll sample approximately 16 different wines across 3 vineyards. The exact selection depends on each estate's offerings and your personal preferences.

What if I don't drink alcohol?

This tour is fully flexible. Non-drinkers can focus on sightseeing in the Winelands, exploring vineyards for their scenic beauty, architecture, and mountain/valley landscapes instead of tastings.

Can lunch and food pairings be added?

Yes. Lunch with panoramic valley views can be arranged at a vineyard estate. Cheese, chocolate, and biltong pairings are also available on request—ask when booking.

What's included in the tour?

The tour includes a private vehicle and driver, wine tastings at 3 vineyards, a city tour of your chosen town (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, or Paarl), and scenic drives through valleys and mountains. Lunch and food pairings are optional extras.

How is this tour different from group tours?

This is a private tour, so your itinerary, pace, and winery selections are completely customisable. You won't be following a fixed route or sharing time with strangers, giving you maximum flexibility and personalisation.

our guide Priya couldnt do enough for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in Cancun.

our guide Pedro really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Paris one out of the water.

our guide Kemal couldnt do enough for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Blew our porto one out of the water, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
