1 DAY STELLENBOSCH WINE TOUR

The Stellenbosch Wine Route is the oldest, leading and possibly the most visited of the southwest Cape’s wine routes.

You will be met at any convenient location in Cape Town from where you be ferried to the wine-producing region of South Africa and the town of Stellenbosch. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks or “Eikestad” in Afrikaans and Dutch due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads. Some time is dedicated to sightseeing the town before embarking into the immediate winelands.

The original Stellenbosch Wine Route, the oldest in the country, was founded in 1971 and has enthusiastically promoted its members for more than 30 years. Today the new Stellenbosch Wine Routes represents more than 200 wine and grape producers within the boundaries of the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin classification; a name that has become synonymous with quality and diversity and that has amassed many international awards.

You will stopover at two of these fine estates where the art of wine making in South Africa is experienced first-hand. A wide range of wines can be sampled, ensuring that you are almost certain to find a wine that will entice to your taste buds

The tour returns to Cape Town in the late afternoon after an unforgettable tour of Stellenbosch and the wine-producing region which surrounds it.
