“Great day. Driver Mark was friendly & happy to answer our many questions. We only visited 3 wineries by choice- Fairview, Delaire Graff & Delheim. We enjoyed them all, with Delaire Graff being our favourite. Had a pleasant lunch at Delheim, although Gluten Free options were limited to a salad. Wine tastings were very generous & we couldn't try all 20! Recommend as a nice day out of Cape Town, especially if weather not good for other activities.”

5.Full-Day Wine Tasting Tour with Wine Tram

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

Spend a full day tasting South African wines in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Walk Stellenbosch, pair five wines with chocolate at Lanzerac, taste blends at Tokara, then ride the Franschhoek Wine Tram to selected estates. Guides such as Candy, Natasha, Peter, and Joseph are known for warm local insight, while lunch is your own expense.

“Candy and Mabee, our guides, made this a fun and memorable day. Many wines were had and whilst the tram is only a very small part of the day it was cool. The first winery we visited were a little disorganised and didn’t communicate well with the group as to what was happening. Strangely they were also the only winery that made us all (3 groups totalling 10 people) do the same tasting. You can’t expect 10 people to all like and want the same thing. All wineries after this were fantastic and very accommodating. Our groups all bonded well and all up it was a great day. Highly recommend…”

The tour guide was very helpful and very flexible during the tour. I needed an ATM stop and he knew where to find a safe and reliable stop.”

Crossing a few hidden and beautiful wineries using the backdoors. The guide provided interesting information about the wine industry. The long ride to Franschhoek leads through a remote and picturesque landscape. All in all, a nice experience and absolutely recommended.”
