Itinerary
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.
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. It is therefore little wonder why DeMorgenzon won an award for producing some of the best Chardonnay in the world.
Afterward, take a historical tour of Stellenbosch, which is the second oldest town in South Africa. Stellenbosch is also home to Stellenbosch University which houses more than 27000 students each year.
Next, head to the Marianne winery where you will enjoy a wine pairing of 6 wines with Biltong, dried meat similar to beef jerky. Marianne believes that biltong enhances their wine's flavors. Marianne's Floreal wine was hand-picked by Chef Gordon Ramsay for Nelson Mandela's 91st Birthday.
We travel to Fairview Wine and Cheese estate and enjoy wine and cheese tasting. Guests may also purchase Fairview cheeses from the deli.
Drive through the prison that held Nelson Mandela, formerly known as Victor Verster. The guide will stop so that you may take photos in this legendary area next to the monument of Nelson Mandela.
Take a drive through the town of Franschhoek (French Corner) which is known as the food and wine capital of South Africa. This is where you will find some of the finest restaurants and wine estates with a French influence.
The tour culminates with Delaire Graff wine estate for wine tasting. The Delaire Graff is known as the Jewel of the Cape Winelands and you will soon see why from the moment you enter onto the estate. The Delaire Graff is truly one of the most exquisite wine estates in South Africa.
At the end of our tour, we return to Cape Town for drop off at your accommodation.

Ray was our driver/tour guide and we had the absolute best time. Since it was a private tour with just my husband and I he was able to make the itinerary exactly how we wanted, while giving suggestions as well where needed. He was so kind, knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, photographer, and a great driver. We learned so much from him. Overall, the best experience we could've asked for and the highlight was having him as our driver and guide! Thank you again so much Ray! - Cristina & Chris from New York

They were able to customize our itinerary and made all of the reservations. Alex was a fantastic driver and gave us lots of information about the history of the area. Fairview had a fantastic cheese and wine tasting. Stark Conde might be the most beautiful winery we have ever visited. Waterford had our favorite wines and the chocolate pairing was a great way to end the day!

We did the Wineland Tour and visited Franschhoek , Paarl & Stellenbosch. Our guide was Wilson. He had great knowledge of the region and history which made the day enjoyable. It was a lot to cover in one day so so did not linger too long in one place.
Great guide very knowlegable. Worth taking a private tour after all the wine tasting! He took us to amazing wine farms

A private tour really is the best way to experience the Cape Winelands — especially after all that world-class wine tasting! 😊 We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the stunning estates and the personalized experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for more unforgettable wine adventures with Beyond Africa Safaris & Tours.
