Can I choose which wineries to visit?

Yes. Once you book, you'll work with the operator to select estates that match your interests—whether focused on specific wine styles, food experiences, or scenic locations. The itinerary is customized for your group.

Is this tour suitable if I don't drink wine?

Absolutely. The tour includes sightseeing through Stellenbosch town and panoramic drives through the mountains and valleys, so you can enjoy the landscape, architecture and culture without wine tastings. Let the operator know your preference when booking.

What's included in the price?

Private vehicle with driver, hotel pickup, guided town visit, and access to vineyard estates. Wine tastings and food are typically available at estates (often charged separately or included depending on your booking). Confirm what's covered when you reserve.

How far is Stellenbosch from Cape Town?

Stellenbosch is roughly 50km (30 miles) east of Cape Town, about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive depending on traffic. Your 5.5-hour tour includes travel time.

Is lunch included, or should I plan to eat at the estates?

Lunch is not automatically included. Many wine estates have excellent on-site restaurants where you can dine; the operator can arrange stops if you request it. Confirm dining plans when booking so the itinerary allows enough time.

What if I'm traveling as a couple—is there a minimum group size penalty?

The minimum group size is 2 passengers (perfect for couples), so you won't pay extra. The price from EUR 120 applies to small groups up to 7 people, all sharing the same private vehicle.
