Frequently Asked Questions
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions — we're here to make your wine tour experience exceptional.
Can you pick us up and return us to our accommodation?+
Yes, all our tours include door-to-door service. For private tours, pick-ups are flexible from anywhere in Greater Cape Town or Stellenbosch. For our group wine tour, we offer complimentary collection and drop-off within central Cape Town and Stellenbosch — if you're staying outside these areas, we can meet you at a convenient central point.
Which farms do we visit on the tour?+
Private tours are tailored experiences with carefully chosen wine farms. Our group wine tour typically visits Fairview (for cheese tasting) and Villiera, though this may vary by day and season.
Is lunch included?+
On the group wine tour, yes — lunch is included at either Le Pommier on Helshoogte Pass or The Goatshed at Fairview, and we cater for vegetarians or special diets with advance notice. On private wine tours, lunch isn't included unless specified in the itinerary.
Can we choose the wine farms?+
On our group wine tour the estates are pre-selected for a seamless experience. If you'd like to design your own itinerary, our Private / Custom Wine Tour gives you full flexibility.
How long is the tour?+
All our tours are full-day excursions (approximately 8 hours). Group tours start around 8:30–9:00am from Cape Town and return around 5:30pm. Private tours are tailored to your itinerary.
Can children join the tours?+
Group tours are unfortunately not suitable for children. On private tours, children are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian — note the legal drinking age in South Africa is 18.

When do your tours operate?+
Our tours run daily, except on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, unless there's a unique circumstance.

What is the best time of year to go on a wine tour in South Africa?+
