The Cape Winelands, in particular, Stellebosch is home to over 200 award-winning wine estates. Therefore, since this is a private customizable tour, we allow travelers to choose their own wine estates for tasting or they can follow our carefully selected itinerary.

A typical itinerary would be as follows:
Begin your day with a pickup from your Cape Town accommodations. Travel along the N2 to your first winery, De Morgenzon.

Stop At: DeMorgenzon Winery, Stellenboschkloof Road Vlottenburg, Stellenbosch 7600 South Africa

Arriving at DeMorgenzon, you will taste 3 different delectable wines. DeMorgenzon is renowned for playing classical music to their vines, believing that this enhances the growth of the vines.

As has happened in the past, the driver was given a later pick up time than was given to us. The contact number for the tour operator did not work and there was no response to the text sent to the tour operator. At 30 minutes past our scheduled pick up time, we became very concerned that our tour would not happen as we had previously informed the operator that we would have to shorten the tour so we could board our cruise ship. Very shortly thereafter we were picked up and the experience totally turned around. We are so sorry that we cannot remember the name of our driver/guide as he was everything we wanted from him. We had specific preferences for the tour and they were all executed to perfection. We visited three Stellenbosch wineries that were beautiful with spectacular scenery, excellent wine and delicious food. We had our first wine tasting at the DeMorgenzon winery. We then went to the Delaire Graff Winery where we had another wine tasting and a light lunch. We concluded our wine tasting at Vergelegen Winery. It was a perfect day. We would certainly do this tour again if we were to return to Cape Town and it provides an incentive to return. The tour is highly recommended.

This was one of the most amazing wine tours I have ever been. The host/driver was very knowledgeable and shared each experience. He went out of he way to insure we all have a great time. I would highly recommend this trip if u want to experience a great time with people from all over. Once it’s over you leave with new friends from around the world. Take the trip. You will love it.

We selected four wineries-two in each region. The guide mapped out the best route and was accommodating. Would have enjoyed hearing more about the history of the area and the grapes.

We had a great trip. Very nice group of people and Reagan was great. Good driver and lots of information and good ability to adjust when one winery was without food. Ended up at restaurant in stellenbosch which was excellent.
