Cape Winelands Discovery
Spend a relaxed day among vineyard landscapes, historic streets and selected wine estates around Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Overview
A full day in the Cape Winelands, with two estate tastings, a long lunch break and time to wander through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek village. Nobody in your group needs to drive, and the day is paced for enjoying the valley rather than ticking off stops.
Estate visits are booked for your date, so the exact estates are confirmed in your quote.
