Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl Valley Wine Day Trip

Cape Town, South Africa

Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a lover of natural beauty you'll be swept away on this wine tour to the famous Stellenbosch and Paarl Valley wineries. Combining historic villages, stunning scenery and fabulous wines, this day trip will have your senses working overtime!

Leaving Cape Town you'll start the day with a visit to Paarl and the spectacular Paarl Valley. Here you can enjoy a wine tasting and cellar tour at one of the local estates.

The tour continues north-west to the beautiful village of Franschhoek. Then it's on to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa and the historic heart of the country's wine region. The final wine tasting will take place here at one of the well-known estates. (Please note that this tour may run in reverse.) The red grape variety Pinotage is unique to the area, but all the classics are represented here: Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon.

You'll have the opportunity to walk around Paarl and Stellenbosch on this tour. With the air scented with sweet grapes and the trees softly swaying in the wind, it is a wine lover's paradise and a truly relaxing way to spend the day!

What a great way to explore the areas outside of Capetown. I highly recommend this tour. The countryside is beautiful and the wineries were really good. Nice day!

Great to see the 3 winery areas. First stop was in Paarl with 6 wines and cheese. Franschook is a wonderful town and has great places to eat. The second winery served no cheese and the wines were so,so. The view was to die for however. The winery in Stellenbosch had good tasting wine but no view

Our tour guide was disorganized, got lost trying to pickup another party, and told us about historical facts after leaving the town/winery/view/etc. Very disappointed in the tour operator.

This was a terrific day with six other lovely people. We wanted some wine tastings, we did three, but wanted time in Stellenbosch and Franschoek too. This was the best solution. Our guide was knowledgable and very pleasant. We did three different type and size wineries which was a great sampling of what The Winelands have to offer. Highly recommend this tour to others. It didn't hurt that it was a gorgeous day to be in this already beautiful area.

Amazing tour guide David? - sorry I met soooo many people that day - knowledgeable, friendly, professional. Throughout the trip he explained the history as he described locations we were passing and visiting. He obviously loved his country and the people - and was so very proud to tell us of the progress that had been made over the last 20 years. The scenery was beautiful, the wine was delicious and varied and the entire trip is one I'll remember for many years to come. This is definitely a tour that you will enjoy.

The guide was very good, the wineries nice and diverse. We ate lunch at one winery which was very nice. My problem was the group was awful. We were 8 all together. 4 was a family who did not like wine or food and wanted to skip everything and go to table mountain. They even wanted to have lunch there and skip tastings! They complained, moaned, and pouted. It was miserable. The guide tried to keep us happy and did emphasize that it was a wine tour but as I was the only one interested in the wine part I felt bullied. Eventually I agreed to skip Franschhoek and the Paarl Valley and go to table mountain even though I had several more days in Cape Town and had just planned to go on my own one day. Really I did not want to be with these people any more. There was also an older couple that shouted that we did not need to walk around Stellenbosch town earlier so really all we did was the tastings then table mountain so really I only saw the half day wine tour or less. It was a nice day and good views at table mountain I especially enjoyed the part where we had to all wait while the family shopped at table mountain as it was their last day as they were on a whirlwind tour and did not allow themselves enough time in the city. It is unlikely future customers would be grouped with such selfish people as I have never been this unlucky before. One day I hope to return to the winelands and visit Franschhoek as that was my main interest in the full day tour. Next time I will just rent a car and stay there to make sure I see it!

Two of the wineries were outstanding, and while the view from the second one was stunning, the wine was terrible! Enjoyed our lunch stop and our guide.

Another highly recommend tour. Wine country was beautiful and Eugene , our tour guide made the trip informative and enjoyable. Wine tasting was well prepared and exceptionally good. Sometime felt a little rushed but still had time to have lunch, shop and site see between winery. This is a tour Not to be missed.
 

Review by:   Jade M,    January 2016 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
Happy with this tour. The landscape and cities were very pretty and worth the visit. We went to two commercial vineyards and one family own vineyards. Enjoyed the family run vineyard the best, though all of the staff were pleasant at all locations. You can do a tour via the hop on hop off from Cape Town as well, however, this tour allows you to to places only accessible with a hired car or tour.

Definitely great tour. We visited three vineyards - all have quite unique range of wines. The second one had also amazing view from the terrace. Guide Super told some interesting stories - about the Cape area and his own life experience.

This is a nice tour to experience the countryside with a little wine on the side. This is not a tour for an experience centered on the wine. It a nice way to spend a relaxing day in the country.

This was a great time. We went to three 3 different wineries and all of them were wonderful. If you're pressed for time this is a great introduction into what South Africa has to offer in terms of wine. The tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it.
 

Review by:   Lee V,    May 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
This tour was absolutely outstanding because although we didn't taste any wines, we were made so welcome and part of the experience as those who did by the wineries and Darrol our guide who was so enthusiastic and passionate about sharing his wealth of knowledge with us that when we met on later tours where he wasn't our guide, he remembered us and asked how our current tour was going! Thank you Darrol!

I was hoping to visit the wineries that had the beautiful Cape Dutch architecture, instead we visited small boutique wineries. The first winery we visited was extremely disappointing._br/_ So overall I was disappointed with this tour.

Whilst the tour guide and opportunity to walk around both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek was fantastic. The wineries we went too were horrific!
 

Review by:   Matt,    December 2014 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
We loved this tour!!! The Fairview winery (first stop) in the Paarl Valley was the best winery in our opinion. Great old world atmosphere, beautiful grounds, cheese tasting, and goats in a lighthouse... no joke!! They also stop by for a brief photo op at the prison where Nelson Mandela was released.

The tour was OK but the guide was doing a dual language tour and spoke nothing but German all afternoon. Questions ashes in one language were only answered in that language. Very poor guiding
