Itinerary
Soon after pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town we will drive along the N1 national road towards Fairview Wine and Cheese estate.
Upon our arrival at Fairview Wine and Cheese estate, your tour guide will escort you to the Wine tasting area. Roaming between the 4 Wine tasting pods and the delightful Cheese and condiments Deli, you will have the opportunity to taste six of the best wine and cheese produced in this region. Wine and Cheese are all available for purchasing.
We drive a short distance to Babylonstoren. Set upon the backdrop of the Simonsberg, Du Toitskloof and Franschhoek mountains, Babylonstoren is one of the most beautiful wine estates in the Cape Winelands. The estate boasts a fruit and vegetable garden and a farm-to-table restaurant called Babel (booking essential). There are two other eateries on the estate, Greenhouse and the Bakery. Greenhouse serves picnic-style lunches and refreshments, whilst the Bakery serves informal Dinners. We spend 1-hour on a Wine Tasting journey of 3 or 7 of the finest wines available for purchase at Babylonstoren.
Our last wine estate stop will be at Marianne Wine Estate. Marianne produces some of the best Red Wine cultivars in South Africa. Here we will enjoy a Biltong and Wine tasting. Marianne believes that biltong (dried meat) enhances the flavors of their wine produced. Marianne's Floreal wine was hand picked by Chef Gordon Ramsey for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday at Buckingham Palace.
We take a scenic drive through Dorp Street in the town of Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, on a drive-by town orientation tour. See the historical Cape Dutch-style houses and the famous Stellenbosch University.
From there we make our way back to Cape Town for drop off at your accommodation between 14:00 and 14:30pm

Gordon was an amazing tour guide and took us to some of the best wineries in Stellenbosch. We did not feel rushed and we were able to really soak in the experience. I highly recommend this half day tour if you’re looking to get out of the city and see some beautiful landscapes nearby.

We LOVED our tour guide, Ray who was so professional and informative, and the wine venues, themselves, were great. Viator, however, isn’t to be trusted with scheduling. We’ve only used them twice, in two different parts of the world, and they botched our schedules, both times. Go direct with local tour guides and bypass Viator if at all possible.
Good day Valued Client Thank you for the review of this tour. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we will escalate this issue for the service to be of a high standard. We would like to wish you all the best with your future travels.
We had a wonderful day with our private driver- It was a last minute booking and the driver Thomas was so kind and fun! Very knowlegeable about wines and the area. He chose 3 different wineries - each had food (usually to purchase) and a lovely tasting. He would make sure that they would seat us right away by communicating with those in charge. I highly recommend this trip!
Good day Valued Client Thank you for sharing a review of your recent experience. Our team here is committed to providing high-quality customer service, and we’re thrilled to hear that we made a good impression on you. We hope you’ll revisit us soon.
Booked this tour & did not regret at all. Had such an amazing safe trip back and forth our Hotel. Views were amazing & had a pleasant time with the group. Our Tour Guide REAGAN KUBA was the best and did everything to put us at ease. Loved his attitude and personality!
Good day Valued Client Thank you for taking the time to review this tour. We are delighted that you had an amazing time in Cape Town. Your guide appreciates the positive feedback.Travel safe
We visited 2 estates, Demorgenzen and Marianne. Both were pleasant and picturesque. Reagan was our friendly& well versed guide&driver, he shares some knowledge and history of the estates and we will definitely be back to visit more farms and ask for him by name.
Dear Will Thank you for your valued feedback regarding the Half Day Stellenbosch Winelands Private Tour you had with Reagan. We are glad that your experience was pleasant with beautiful views. We thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you again.
We had the best day visiting Stellenbosch. Reagan was the best guide, with excellent local knowledge and kept us laughing throughout. We went to Demorganzan and marianne winery’s with a lovely stop off in Stellenbosch town in between, visiting the local museum. It was a perfect day out, with the nicest guide we could have asked for. Would highly recommend doing this tour and ask for Reagan!
