Private Full Day Stellenbosch Wine Tour

Stellenbosch On the start of this Cape Winelands tour we will depart from Cape Town after picking you up from your hotel and head towards the east to the famous town of Stellenbosch, the second oldest town European settlement after Cape Town. A pre-dominantly Afrikaans speaking town boasting a number of significant Dutch architectural designs, museums and a wide range of over 100 wine farms. In Stellenbosch we will be visiting two vineyards for some wine tasting and cheese tastings and afterwards participating in a cellar tour and continuing the Cape Winelands tour with a self-walk through the streets of Stellenbosch and browsing through a variety of boutique.

The archetypal Stellenbosch wine farm, with age-old trees, sprawling vineyards and a pretty river, the focus here is on ethical farming and creativity.
The wine There are six ranges, including organic, vegan, and Cap Classique. Enjoy one of three tastings in the Tasting Room beside the dam (under an iconic Heath Nash-designed wine-bottle chandelier or on the verandah), with platters or a chocolate pairing if you like. The Spier Hotel has a Wine Bar.
The food Famous pastéis de nata and hearty meals at Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery; grab-and-go picnic fare at the Farm Café (or book a basket) and find a spot at the new riverside area surrounded by boulders and the Eerste River; à la carte seasonal dishes at the hotel restaurant. Until 11 March, enjoy Friday’s live music and picnic Sunset Sessions on the Werf.
There’s more Explore the farm on a segway or with four themed self-guided walks. Spier has one of the largest collections of contemporary art in SA.

The wine As one of the oldest estates in the Bottelary Hills, Hazendal boasts a long tradition of winemaking, crafting wines that truly express the coastal terroir of this unique corner of South Africa’s Winelands. Two ranges (Hazendal and Christoffel Hazenwinkel), including reds, whites, MCC and a Spanish carignan. The plush Wine Lounge (in the old cellar) offers three tastings, with cheese and charcuterie platters, or step it up a notch with a Sensory Pairing Experience in the Wine Library.
The food There’s comfort classics and picnic fare at Babushka Deli; flame-grilled favourites (and beer-glazed eisbein) at Pivnushka Beer Garden; the Tea Room in the manor house serves a fabulous one-of-a-kind high tea; and a three-course dinner at the monthly Jazz Club events.

A serene and beautiful place on the slopes of the Helderberg, this estate is all about harnessing nature’s bounty with care and respect.
The wine Two small ranges (Haskell and Dombeya), with shiraz being especially notable. There are two tasting options, plus a food-and-wine pairing (small bites from the current restaurant menu). A cheese and charcuterie platter is also available.
The food Bold fusion flavours at Longtable Restaurant (with exquisite views); plus sourdough pizza and wine or a picnic on the lawns on weekends in summer.
