Wine Tours in South Africa
Wine tours make fantastic gifts because they incorporate a variety of engaging features like sightseeing, entertaining tour guides, and of course - wine tasting! Over the years tour companies have come up with innovative experiences that show guests the Winelands like never before, including everything from whale watching wine tours to tuk-tuk tours. Although the wine tasting is for adults only, most tours are suitable for all ages, making them fun family days out as well as romantic excursions with your loved ones.
If you're looking for just a taster of the Cape Winelands, the Half Day Wine Farm Tuk Tuk Tour in Stellenbosch ticks all the boxes. For just R500 per person, you'll receive a private tour between three prestigious wine estates where you can book wine tastings, break for quick meals, or simply enjoy the incredible views. Starting at either 10am or 2pm, this is a great way to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon!
If you want to combine wine tasting with a bit of outdoor adventure, the Wine Farm Bike Tours in Stellenbosch or Franschhoek offer the best of both. Hop on a mountain bike and follow a guide through the vineyards, listening to fascinating stories about the history of the region, and stopping for wine tasting experiences at a number of establishments along the way. With some trips covering distances of 21km, these tours are definitely suited for the young at heart!
On the luxury end of the scale, you may be interested in the mega-package that is the Golf, Wine Tasting, Target Sports, Hiking & Beer Tasting Experience in Stellenbosch - the ultimate Western Cape tour!
