Itinerario
Después de haber sido recogido de su alojamiento en Ciudad del Cabo. Viajará por la autopista N2 a través de las llanuras del Cabo hasta la ciudad montañosa de Stellenbosch. Mientras conduces, tu guía turístico te dará un comentario sobre los puntos de referencia importantes por los que pasarás. Al llegar a la ciudad de Stellenbosch, tendrá la oportunidad de bajar del vehículo y descubrir la pintoresca y acogedora ciudad a pie. Los edificios de estilo endémico del Cabo Holandés fluyen paralelos a las frondosas calles de Stellenbosch y los surcos de agua de más de 150 años de antigüedad hacen un avance hacia la suave pendiente noreste de la ciudad. Tiendas antiguas y nuevas comercian con arte, antigüedades, joyas y madera tallada. También es posible que desee aprovechar esta oportunidad para tomar un café y absorber la energía vibrante de la ciudad antes de pasar a su primera experiencia de cata de vinos del día.
Después de la rápida exploración de la ciudad de Stellenbosch, la siguiente parada será en la finca de vinos Lanzerac para su experiencia de maridaje de chocolate y cata de vinos. Lanzerac es una de las fincas vinícolas más antiguas de Stellenbosch y cubre unas 200 hectáreas de tierra a las faldas de las montañas Jonkershoek. La hermosa finca vinícola es conocida entre muchos atributos, por tener los mejores ejemplos de los edificios arquitectónicos endémicos del Cabo Holandés en el mundo. La casa solariega, que data de la década de 1830, tiene un estatus de patrimonio provincial y, junto con los viñedos y la bodega, crea una tradición típica francesa de fusionar un hotel de campo y una finca vinícola. Es en Lanzerac donde Pinotage fue embotellado por primera vez. Sin embargo, su experiencia aquí no tendrá nada que ver con el único vino sudafricano, sino con una cata única de 5 vinos Premium maridados perfectamente con una selección de chocolates artesanales. Los chocolates están destinados a exponer a usted los diferentes ángulos de la textura del vino antes y después.
Desde Lanzerac, subirá y bajará la colina y las sinuosas alturas del infierno pasarán a Tokara. A diferencia del histórico Lanzerac, Tokara es conocido por su aspecto moderno, Vistas que se extiende hasta la Montaña de la Mesa y un surco de oliva que produce algunos de los mejores aceites de oliva de la zona. La cata de vinos aquí consiste en 5 vinos clásicos, incluyendo una Rosa y uno de los mejores Carbert Sauvignon en la zona que ha sido estrechamente natural durante 2 décadas desde el cambio de siglo. Los suelos profundos y ricos que consisten en granito descompuesto y arenisca erosionada le dan a Tokara el privilegio de cultivar lotes individuales que luego se mezclan para hacer vinos de primer nivel. El asesor de vinos de Tokara compartirá toda la información de los vinos a medida que los degustes individualmente y si tienes tiempo, es posible que también quieras probar los aceites de oliva o incluso un plato de queso. Nos reservamos el derecho de hacer una parada alternativa en caso de que Tokara esté completamente reservado o cerrado para eventos privados
Después de su segunda experiencia de cata de vinos, el viaje nos llevará a la ciudad de Franschhoek a través de la histórica ciudad de Pniel. Un gran número de agricultores de Francia se presentaron en El Cabo en la década de 1680 y posteriormente se les concedió tierras aquí para cultivar viñedos y así la ciudad se hizo conocida como Franschhoek, que significa la esquina de los franceses. Rodeado de montañas y viñedos cuidados por todos lados, Franschhoek le da a uno una hermosa correlación de la naturaleza y el trabajo del hombre. La hermosa finca Leeu, que consta de galerías de arte, hoteles y restaurantes, deja a uno con un deseo ardiente de quedarse aquí por mucho más tiempo. Tendremos una pausa para almorzar aquí y es posible que también desee aprovechar esta oportunidad para explorar las tiendas, esta ciudad no decepcionaría. Al igual que en Stellenbosch, aquí se pueden encontrar tiendas de arte, joyerías, tiendas de cuero fino, tiendas de ropa o incluso fábricas de chocolate fino!
Poco después de la pausa para el almuerzo y la exploración de Franschhoek, el recorrido avanzará hacia las terminales de Franschhoek para la segunda etapa de la experiencia de cata de vinos en tranvía. Su guía turístico le entregará sus billetes de tranvía y le explicará cómo leer el horario del tranvía. Por lo general, el tranvía tarda unos 8 minutos en viajar entre granjas y puede bajar en la granja de su elección entre la lista de granjas proporcionadas en su ruta. Dos sería el número máximo de fincas que podrás visitar en tranvía pero también podrás hacer una tercera si el tiempo lo permite.
La primera posible parada en tranvía sería en la primera granja propiedad de mujeres en Franschhoek, Rickety Bridge. El tranvía lo dejará en las terminales de Rickety Bridge, donde lo recogerá un tractor agrícola con cómodos asientos y lo transportará a la zona de degustación de vinos. Aquí será más que bienvenido a elegir cualquiera de las opciones de cata de vinos disponibles. También puede optar por no participar en la cata de vinos y sentarse en el restaurante Paulina, donde podrá tomar un refrigerio, un café o pedir una copa de vino y disfrutar de las vistas panorámicas de las montañas y los viñedos del valle de Franschhoek.
La bodega Franschhoek es una de las granjas en las bodegas de Ciudad del Cabo que ofrece el vino y queso únicos o maridajes de chocolate belga hechos a mano. Los chocolates belgas se hacen en la misma ciudad y el vino también. Una cata de vinos tradicionales solo está disponible si esa es una mejor opción para usted. La bodega Franschhoek es también la más cercana a las terminales del tranvía y si desea estirar las piernas después de un día completo de múltiples catas de vinos, en realidad podría caminar hasta las terminales para reunirse con su guía turístico y el resto del grupo.
En nuestro camino de regreso a Ciudad del Cabo, tendrá la oportunidad de detenerse en una prisión donde Nelson Mandela pasó los últimos 2 años de sus 27 años en prisión. Una estatua de bronce de tamaño natural de este gran hombre se encuentra justo afuera de las puertas de la prisión con el puño apretado en el aire como para simbolizar la fuerza y el coraje. Su guía le dará un breve resumen sobre el pasado, presente y la liberación de Nelson Mandela antes de continuar a Ciudad del Cabo para dejarlo en su hotel.

I was really looking forward to this tour and it didn’t disappoint. Candy (our guide) arrived on time and was very friendly. During the tour she shared great facts about the cities and towns and shared a lot about herself and life in Cape Town.

Last week my sister and I had an absolutely incredible time with Peter leading us through a day of wine tasting. The wines and scenery were fantastic, but it was really Peter who made the trip what it was. When he wasn’t acting as our personal photographer, he joked around with us and was also very insightful about life in South Africa. It was my favorite day of an incredible trip, and I can only highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future! Have safe travels. Best regards, Junior.
If you want to visit the best vineyards and hit the tram in one tour, snag this one with Kevin. He drove and entertained us with stories! I am a wine snob and bought several bottles at Duty Free because the wine is that good, especially Boschendal and Tokara. 10/10 recommend 🥰
Dear Christine, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Cape Winelands with Kevin. It is wonderful to know that his entertaining stories and friendly personality made the journey even more memorable. We are especially delighted to hear such high praise from a wine enthusiast! Boschendal and Tokara are truly exceptional wine estates, and we are so pleased that you enjoyed their wines enough to take several bottles home with you. Thank you for your wonderful recommendation and perfect rating. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable South African wine adventure in the future. Best regards, Junior.

We had such a lovely day wine tasting in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek! Peter was our guide and he did the best job. The wineries were wonderful and the scenery was gorgeous. We also loved stopping to see where Nelson Mandela spent his last years of imprisonment before making the long walk to freedom. Such a wonderful day in Cape Town!
Dear Lisa, What a fantastic you had day! We are so glad you enjoyed the winelands. Peter will be thrilled to hear your kind words. The beauty of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, combined with such meaningful history, really does make for a special experience. Thank you for sharing, and we hope the rest of your time in Cape Town is just as memorable! 🍷😊 Best regards, Pauline
My husband and I enjoyed our private tour, but there were a lot of mishaps and circumstances that reduced the amount of time we were able to spend at the wineries. We were picked up late after confusion about our hotel pick-up location (we changed dates and pick-up location due to flooding and high winds on our original tour date - all of this was correctly reflected on our TripAdvisor booking, so I am not sure why our driver was dispatched to the wrong hotel. Thankfully we relocated to a hotel within 5 minutes drive). There was also significant confusion about the timing of our Tram tickets (apparently the tour usually goes to Stellenbosch first, but the Tram tickets secured by the Tour Operator were for late-morning so the tour order was reversed - which our driver did not know until we were en route). There was additional confusion about which of the 2 Tram stations was open (we drove 15 minutes past the open Tram station only to have to turn around and go back). Then, after waiting 15+ minutes for the Tram, we were advised the Tram's schedule was modified due to a tree on the line from the storms. (Instead of adjusting the schedule for the available track, they were holding the Tram at the station for 15-20 minutes.) All in all, we lost at least 45 minutes to misunderstandings about the Tram. We eventually chose to eat the cost of our Tram tickets, and ride the short distances between wineries with our private driver. (I highly recommend negotiating a private tour price that skips the Tram and allows you more time at the wineries! It's best to arrive at a winery when the Tram hasn't just dropped off guests, in addition to avoiding the requirement of pacing your tastings to match the Tram's departure time!) We also lost time at our 2nd stop because our guide was not aware that due to renovations on the property the tasting room had recently been relocated to the Private Event/Wedding venue. After we trekked half way across a muddy field, we were stopped and told we were entering an active movie set and had to turn around! There was confusion about our lunch stop, where the driver had called ahead to confirm we could eat and do a tasting at the same time, only to arrive and learn tastings were not available at the winery's venue serving the driver's recommended Braii platter (which was delicious and we highly recommend!). There was also confusion about the closing time of our 4th and final winery stop. Apparently they had just begun Winter hours, and arriving 10 minutes before closing they initially declined our tasting. Our driver did convince them to quickly serve us as they were shutting down for the day. With this ongoing series of unfortunate events, our time in the wine regions was very rushed. Another tip: do not elect the option to prepay your tastings. We thought prepaying may give us special access to facilities or wines since we were on a private tour, but it did not. Our tastings were in the general tasting areas (which were all lovely!) and each offered various levels of tastings...but with prepayment only the basic was included. We ended up paying the difference at one winery to upgrade our tasting experience. We would have at another too, but our tasting was poured before we were presented with the menu identifying the tasting options. Through all of this, our driver Jossie stayed positive and did manage to squeeze in all 4 tastings and a sitdown lunch. We were lucky she had relationships at some of the locations. Jossie was a safe and informative driver, and a pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend the private tour option so you can enjoy the tastings and lunch at your own pace, and modify the itinerary on the fly as needed - no matter what chaos the day may throw at you! Even better, book a farm guest room or rental house and spend a few days!
Dear Melinda, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the series of misunderstandings and delays that affected your experience and reduced the time spent enjoying the wineries. The recent severe weather and storm-related disruptions unfortunately created unexpected operational challenges, including tram schedule changes, venue adjustments, and routing confusion. That said, we understand how frustrating this must have been, especially on a private tour, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the day. We are very pleased to hear that despite the circumstances, Jossie remained positive, informative, and accommodating, and that you still enjoyed the wineries, lunch, and overall experience in the Winelands. We will certainly share your kind words with her. Your feedback is extremely valuable and will help us improve communication, coordination, and planning for future guests. Thank you again for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future. Best regards, Junior.
