Full Day Constantia Wine Tasting and Table Mountain Tour
A curated journey through four iconic Constantia wine estates with sweeping views of Table Mountain
This Constantia wine tasting tour takes you on a full-day exploration of one of South Africa's oldest and most celebrated wine regions, set against the backdrop of the iconic Table Mountain.
Departing directly from your Cape Town hotel, you will be driven in comfort through the scenic Constantia Valley, stopping at four distinguished wine estates: Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Beau Constantia, and Constantia Glen. Each farm offers a distinct character, from historic homesteads to contemporary boutique cellars perched above the valley.
The Constantia Wine Route winds through a green suburb of Cape Town where viticulture has thrived since the 17th century. The estates here are not merely wineries but layered destinations combining heritage architecture, curated gardens, and award-winning vintages.
Table Mountain, a flat-topped landmark visible from much of the city, anchors the experience geographically and visually. Whether viewed from the valley below or visited directly, it provides a powerful sense of place that distinguishes this tour from any standard wine excursion.
Tour Highlights
Explore Groot Constantia, a 17th-century estate housing a wine museum, manor house, and collections of historic drinking vessels.
Taste wines at Klein Constantia, celebrated for its elegant, historically significant vintages in a beautifully preserved estate setting.
Visit Beau Constantia, a boutique farm at the top of Constantia Nek offering panoramic views and a modern tasting experience.
Discover Constantia Glen, known for refined Bordeaux-style blends and a serene setting deep in the Constantia Valley.
Take in views of Table Mountain, the flat-topped natural landmark that defines the Cape Town skyline and the surrounding wine corridor.
Enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off with comfortable transport throughout the full-day itinerary.
