Full Day Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl Winelands Tour
Description
Our day starts with a visit to Paarl where you will be struck by the beauty of the Valley, the pristine blue sky, the rolling vineyards, and the Pearl of Paarl set high above the valley. Paarl made headlines when President Mandela was released from the Groot Drakenstein prison (formerly known as Victor Verster prison). We enjoy a wine tasting at one of the local estates. From Paarl, we'll continue north-west to the beautiful village of Franschhoek, founded in 1688 by French immigrants fleeing the Huguenot religious persecution in Europe. A memorial in the town commemorates the arrival of these early settlers who helped develop the wines sought after by Napoleon, Bismarck, and royalty such as Edward VII, the Prince of Wales. Here we will stop for lunch and another wine tasting at a local vineyard. We'll then head to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa and enjoy a final wine tasting before returning to Cape Town.

Fantastic day, wineries were truly fantastic.
Good Morning Thank you for taking the time and providing us with your feedback. Glad to hear you had a fantastic day out in the Winelands.
The experience was very smoothly offered and the itinerary was all we could have hoped for. Three very different wineries all charming and with beautiful surroundings. The tastings were interesting with a good coverage of what flavours to experience. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Our driver and guide for the trip was very helpful, friendly and informative about the history of the wine estates and also about South African culture. A very enjoyable day and we can recommend wholeheartedly to others.
Good Afternoon Thank you for taking the time and providing us with your feedback. We are thrilled to hear you had an enjoyable day in the winelands.
Disappointing. Billed as a three winery tour, we only visited 2. We were pressured into only visiting 2 by the guide. It was clear that there was insufficient time to visit 3 wine farms. The first farm was excellent. Well prepared, we were guided through the wines and given a tour. The second at Franschhoek was poor. We were seated at a table and given 3 wines, only 3 of which were described to us. This We should receive partial reimbursement since we only visited 2 of the 3 wineries. I would not recommend this tour.
Dear Peter Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that the experience did not live up to expectations. We will therefore extend a 20% discount for the missed 3rd wine tasting. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
I wish I could give 10 stars. Extremely happy with the wine tasting tour and I don’t drink wine. Our guide Ivan was superb. He told us all about each area we drove through. The wine was a bonus.
Good Morning Thank you for taking the time and providing us with your feedback. We will pass on your comments to the guide.
Wonderful driver who was very knowledgeable accommodating and professional. Also felt very safe when he was driving. The wine tasting and pairings were everything that I imagined. Staff at wineries also knowledgeable and delightful.
Eddie, our driver and tour guide, was informative, friendly, courteous and very organised. We visited 3 wineries and had a day out that exceeded our expectations. Stellenbosch is a beautiful wine growing area and the wineries and wine were excellent.

I had an all day excursions the day before the wine tour and was so tired I almost cancelled. I am soooooo happy I did not. It was an amazing experience. Everything was perfect....from the tour guide to the wine to the locations. The views can not be described in words you have to see them. Absolutely Amazing! Definitely worth the money. Hopefully you will get Ashley, he was nice and informative and so patient with our small group.
