Is this a shared tour or private?

Fully private. Once booked, you and your group (2–7 people) are the only passengers in the vehicle for the entire 8 hours. The itinerary is customized for your group alone.

How many wineries do we visit and how much wine do we taste?

You'll taste at least 15 wines across multiple estates. The exact number of estates visited depends on your preferences and how long you spend at each; your guide tailors the route to balance tasting depth with sightseeing.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The tour price covers the private vehicle, guide, and itinerary planning. Tasting fees at individual vineyards (typically EUR 10–20 per estate) and lunch are at your own expense. Wine purchases and shipping are optional and paid on-site.

Can I customize the itinerary if I don't drink wine or prefer scenery?

Yes. The guide will redesign your route to focus on town walks in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, mountain and valley drives, and food-based stops. Non-drinkers are actively catered for.

Do I need to arrange lunch separately?

No. You can enjoy lunch at a vineyard or pair a light food platter with tastings on an estate. Your guide coordinates this; you pay the estate directly.

Can I buy wine and have it shipped home?

Yes. All estates accept purchases, and they can arrange international shipping. Confirm shipping timelines and costs with the estate at the time of purchase.

Insider tips

★Tell your guide your wine preferences upfront—reds, whites, natural wines—so estates are pre-selected to match your palate rather than following a generic route.
★Combine a light vineyard platter with tastings rather than a separate lunch to maximize tasting time and estate exploration.
★Ask about mountain and valley scenic drives; most guides can weave these into your itinerary without cutting wine experiences.
★Check credit card acceptance beforehand if you plan to purchase bottles; all estates accept cards, but cash can speed up smaller transactions.
