Cape Town Wine Tasting Guide
Cape Town and the surrounding Cape Winelands offer hundreds of wine estates, cellar doors, food pairings and scenic tasting experiences. From Constantia and Stellenbosch to Franschhoek, Paarl, Somerset West and Hemel-en-Aarde, Wanderer helps travellers choose the right wine tastings and build them into a private wine tour.
Cape Town has more than 560 wineries, which makes it impossible to visit them all in one trip. Wanderer helps guests filter through the hundreds of wine farms in the Cape wine region to find the estates, tastings and experiences that best suit their interests.
Popular wine regions include Stellenbosch (130+ estates), Franschhoek (around 30), Paarl (around 49) and Constantia (around 10). Each region offers a different style of wine experience, from historic estates and mountain-view tastings to food pairings, cellar tours, family-friendly stops and luxury wine estates.
Wanderer's private wine tours are tailored around your preferred pace, wine style, lunch plans, group size and travel dates. Choose from popular routes like Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Best of the Winelands or a fully bespoke Private Wine Tour.
