Stellenbosch and Franschhoek Wine Tasting Private Tour
A full day of fine wines, gourmet dining, and storied estates in South Africa's premier wine country.
This Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tasting private tour offers a curated eight-hour journey through two of the Western Cape's most celebrated wine valleys. Guests are collected from their Cape Town hotel and guided privately through prestigious estates, with tastings and a two-course lunch included throughout the day.
The route passes through landscapes shaped by centuries of viticulture, from the oak-lined streets of Stellenbosch to the Huguenot heritage of Franschhoek. Each stop reflects a distinct character, whether it is the diamond-world glamour of Delaire Graff or the intimate, family-run warmth of Haute Cabriere perched against the mountains.
Franschhoek holds a well-earned reputation as the Food and Wine Capital of South Africa, and a visit to its restaurants and estates makes clear why that distinction stands. The private format means the pace and focus of the day can be tailored to your interests, without the constraints of a shared-group schedule.
Throughout the day, guests move between estates at a relaxed tempo, allowing time to appreciate each property's setting, winemaking philosophy, and hospitality. The inclusion of a dedicated guide and vehicle removes all logistical complexity from the experience.

Itinerary
Your private guide and vehicle collect you from your Cape Town hotel, beginning the drive into the Cape Winelands. The journey sets the scene with views of mountain ranges and vineyard-covered valleys.
Arrive at Delaire Graff, founded by diamond magnate Laurence Graff and set on the Helshoogte Pass with sweeping views over the valley. Enjoy a guided wine tasting at one of Stellenbosch's most luxurious and visually striking estates.
Continue to Klein Goederust, a boutique estate in the Franschhoek Valley known for its intimate setting and artisanal approach to winemaking. A tasting here offers a quieter contrast to the grandeur of the earlier stop.

Spend time in the village itself, widely regarded as the Food and Wine Capital of South Africa. The main street is lined with galleries, artisan food shops, and some of the country's most awarded restaurants.
