The Franschhoek and Stellenbosch winelands offer some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in South Africa. Add a few of the best wine farms in the world and you are looking at an amazing day out in the country!
This day tour to the Cape Winelands – which includes a wine and cheese tasting, a cellar tour in Franschhoek and a wine tasting at a Stellenbosch wine farm – is an incredible experience for all wine lovers.
The Franschhoek & Stellenbosch Winelands Tour leaves Cape Town in the morning and takes a scenic drive to Bloubergstrand, for an iconic photo opportunity of the ocean and Table Mountain.
After visiting Blouberg, you will be treated to a cheese-and-wine tasting and cellar tour at a Franschhoek wine farm. The next stop is Franschhoek, where you will have about two hours to explore the town, enjoy lunch or indulge in an extra wine tasting.
Then you will take a scenic drive over the impressive Helshoogte Pass to the picturesque town of Stellenbosch, where you will be treated to the iconic duck parade (time permitting). Afterwards you will visit a Stellenbosch wine farm for a final wine tasting, before heading back to Cape Town.
