Full Day Classic Wine Tour
In Paarl you can visit various famous wineries like, Fairview, Avondale (Eco-farming) Seidelberg, Glen Carlou and more, for different wine tastings. Most of these wine farms offer fantastic views that capture the heart of the Cape winelands. You will also learn about the many National Monuments in Paarl, and the history of the first settlers and slaves that lived here. When driving down Main Road, be sure not to miss the Victorian architecture under the massive Oak trees that line this street. Visit the Afrikaans language monument that is on top of the Paarl Rock Mountain, which is the only language monument in the world!
In Franschhoek go for wine tastings at some of Franschhoek’s famous surrounding wine farms like, Graham Beck’s, Rickety Bridge and Vrede en Lust. In Franschhoek itself there are countless little art galleries and boutiques to stroll through. All of these shops specialize in African Arts and Crafts. This is a truly beautiful little town filled with history, colour and flavour. You will also have the opportunity to visit the prison and learn about the history of Nelson Mandela’s incarceration.
In the Stellenbosch area, some of the beautiful wine farms like Rustenberg, Kanonkop and Tokara can be visited. The tour also takes you into the town where you will walk down the historic Dorp Street and visit “Oom Samie se Winkel” (shop). This is a little Victorian shop that still sells everything typically South African, including rooibos tea, biltong and fascinating goods from yester-years. You will enjoy a drive through the University Campus (which comprises a big part of Stellenbosch) and learn about the history of this amazing town that is steeped in culture.

Our function is the 2nd December and would like to find out more about the tours.
This is an enquiry only – please could you give me a rough
idea of costs to do a one/two day wine estate tour for four people during the month on November this year. I am not sure of dates at this stage. They would be based in Cape Town central.
Many thanks
