Itinerario
Dopo che sei stato prelevato dal tuo alloggio a Città del Capo. Viaggerete sull'autostrada N2 attraverso gli appartamenti del Capo fino alla città montuosa di Stellenbosch. Mentre guidi, la tua guida turistica darà un commento sui punti di riferimento importanti che passerai. All'arrivo nella città di Stellenbosch, avrete la possibilità di scendere dal veicolo e scoprire la pittoresca e accogliente città a piedi. Endemici edifici in stile olandese del Capo scorrono paralleli alle strade frondose di Stellenbosch e oltre un solco d'acqua di 150 anni fa fa fa un passo avanti verso il dolce pendio nord-orientale della città. Vecchi e nuovi negozi commerciano in arte, antiquariato, gioielli e legno intagliato. Potresti anche voler cogliere l'occasione per prendere un caffè e assorbire la vibrante energia della città prima di passare alla tua prima esperienza di degustazione di vini della giornata.
Dopo la rapida esplorazione della città di Stellenbosch, la prossima tappa sarà alla tenuta vinicola di Lanzerac per la tua esperienza di degustazione di cioccolato e vino. Lanzerac è una delle più antiche tenute vinicole di Stellenbosch e si estende su circa 200 ettari di terreno ai piedi dei Monti Jonkershoek. La bellissima tenuta vinicola è conosciuta tra i molti attributi, per avere i migliori esempi degli edifici architettonici endemici del Capo Olandese nel mondo. La Manor House che risale al 1830 ha uno status di patrimonio provinciale e insieme ai vigneti e alla cantina, crea una tipica tradizione francese di fusione di un hotel di campagna e una tenuta vinicola. È a Lanzerac che il Pinotage è stato imbottigliato per la prima volta. Tuttavia, la tua esperienza qui non avrà nulla a che fare con l'unico vino sudafricano ma una degustazione unica di 5 vini Premium abbinati perfettamente a una selezione di cioccolatini artigianali. I cioccolatini hanno lo scopo di esporvi le diverse angolazioni della consistenza del vino prima e dopo.
Da Lanzerac, guiderai su e giù per le colline e le tortuose alture dell'Inferno passano a Tokara. A differenza della storica Lanzerac, Tokara è conosciuta per il suo aspetto moderno, Vista che si estende fino alla Table Mountain e un solco di ulivi che produce alcuni dei migliori oli d'oliva della zona. La degustazione qui consiste in 5 vini classici tra cui un Rosa e uno dei migliori Carbert Sauvignon della zona che è stato strettamente naturalistico per 2 decenni dalla fine del secolo. I terreni ricchi e profondi costituiti da granito decomposto e arenaria invecchiata offrono a Tokara il privilegio di coltivare singoli lotti che vengono poi miscelati per ottenere vini di alto livello. Il wine advisor Tokara condividerà con tutti le informazioni dei vini mentre li degusterete singolarmente e se avete tempo, potreste anche voler provare gli oli d'oliva o anche un tagliere di formaggi. Ci riserviamo il diritto di effettuare una sosta alternativa nel caso in cui Tokara fosse completamente prenotata o chiusa per eventi privati
Dopo la seconda degustazione di vini, il viaggio ci porterà alla città di Franschhoek attraverso la storica città di Pniel. Un gran numero di agricoltori provenienti dalla Francia si presentarono a Capo negli anni '80 del XVI secolo e successivamente ottennero qui terreni per coltivare vigneti e così la città divenne nota come Franschhoek, che significa angolo dei francesi. Circondato da montagne e vigneti curati su tutti i lati, Franschhoek offre una bella correlazione tra la natura e il lavoro dell'uomo. La splendida tenuta di Leeu composta da gallerie d'arte, hotel e ristoranti lascia uno con un desiderio ardente di rimanere qui per molto più tempo. Faremo una pausa pranzo qui e si può anche voler cogliere l'occasione per esplorare i negozi, questa città non vi deluderà. Come a Stellenbosch, qui si possono trovare negozi d'arte, gioiellerie, negozi di pelletteria, negozi di abbigliamento o persino fabbriche di cioccolato!
Subito dopo la pausa pranzo e l'esplorazione di Franschhoek, il tour si dirigerà verso i terminal di Franschhoek per la seconda tappa dell'esperienza di degustazione di vini in tram. La tua guida turistica ti darà i biglietti del tram e ti spiegherà come leggere gli orari del tram. Di solito ci vogliono circa 8 minuti perché il tram viaggi tra le fattorie e potresti sperare di scendere in una fattoria di tua scelta tra l'elenco delle fattorie fornito sul tuo percorso. Due sarebbero il numero massimo di fattorie che puoi visitare in tram, ma puoi farne anche una terza, tempo permettendo.
La prima possibile fermata in tram sarà presso la prima fattoria di proprietà femminile di Franschhoek, Rickety Bridge. Il tram ti lascerà ai terminal di Rickety Bridge dove verrai prelevato da un trattore agricolo con comodi sedili e trasportato nell'area di degustazione dei vini. Qui sarai più che benvenuto a scegliere una qualsiasi delle opzioni di degustazione di vini disponibili. Puoi anche rinunciare alla degustazione di vini e sederti invece al ristorante Paulina, dove potrai prendere uno spuntino, un caffè o ordinare un bicchiere di vino e goderti la vista panoramica sulle montagne e sui vigneti della valle di Franschhoek.
La cantina Franschhoek è una delle fattorie nelle terre vinicole di Città del Capo che offre gli abbinamenti unici di vino e formaggio o cioccolato belga fatto a mano. Il cioccolato belga viene prodotto lungo la strada nella stessa città e così il vino. È disponibile anche una degustazione di soli vini tradizionali se questa è una scelta migliore per voi. La cantina Franschhoek è anche la più vicina ai terminal del tram e se volete sgranchirvi le gambe dopo una giornata intera di degustazione multipla di vini, potreste effettivamente raggiungere a piedi i terminal per incontrare la vostra guida turistica e il resto del gruppo.
Sulla via del ritorno a Città del Capo, avrai l'opportunità di fermarti in una prigione dove Nelson Mandela ha trascorso gli ultimi 2 dei suoi 27 anni in carcere. Una statua in bronzo a grandezza naturale di questo grande uomo si trova appena fuori dai cancelli della prigione con il pugno stretto in aria come a simboleggiare forza e coraggio. La tua guida ti fornirà un breve riassunto sul passato, sul presente e sul rilascio di Nelson Mandela della prigione prima di procedere verso Città del Capo per la consegna al tuo hotel.

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!
Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your sister had an incredible day exploring the Cape Winelands with Peter. It is fantastic to know that the beautiful scenery, excellent wines, and Peter's warm personality made the experience so memorable. We are especially pleased that he kept you entertained with his sense of humor, shared meaningful insights about life in South Africa, and even captured special moments for you as your personal photographer. Knowing that this was your favorite day of an already incredible trip means so much to us. 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.
