Highlights

More information

Step off the beaten path and explore Stellenbosch like never before on the Stellenbosch Open-air Wine Safari Tour - a one-of-a-kind hop-on, hop-off vineyard adventure. After a comfortable transfer from the city, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink at a local estate before boarding your custom open-air safari vehicle, pulled by a farm tractor. Unlike standard wine tours, this journey takes you directly between the vines and farm roads with your live guide providing commentary on the region’s soils, grape varieties, the art of winemaking and history of each estate. The tour winds its way through scenic vineyards and back roads, connecting you with up to eight premium wine estates. Each stop offers 65–75 minutes to savour wine tastings, indulge in delicious meals, and soak in the estate’s unique atmosphere-whether it’s a grand historic property or a boutique family-run vineyard. After a full day of exploration, the Wine Safari Tour returns to Eikendal, where your driver will meet you for the transfer back to Cape Town. Any wine purchases you make will be carefully stored and handed back to you at the end of the tour. This unforgettable experience blends authentic farm-to-farm travel, world-class wines, and Stellenbosch’s natural beauty—perfect for wine lovers and adventurers alike.
