About capewinelandstour.com
capewinelandstour.com is an independent guide to wine tours from Cape Town into the Cape Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl), from guided tasting days and the Franschhoek Wine Tram to half-day and bike tours. This page explains who runs it, how it is financed and where the data comes from.
Who is behind this site
capewinelandstour.com is run by Patrick Kühne, an independent travel publisher based in Markkleeberg near Leipzig, Germany. He builds and maintains a small portfolio of guides to attraction tickets and day tours, including hoponcapetown.com and capetown-helicopter.com for Cape Town itself. There is no agency and no rotating editorial team behind this site: the pages are researched, written and kept up to date by one person, the same one who answers the e-mails.
What we compare
Wine tours in the Cape Winelands look alike on booking platforms, but they differ in what matters: whether the tastings are included or paid on the day, whether lunch is part of the deal, how big the group is and where the day starts and ends. The product names rarely make those differences obvious. We describe what each tour actually includes, based on the inclusions listed on its product page, and show live prices so the choice can be made in one place. We are not a booking agent: every reservation happens on GetYourGuide.
How we earn money
Bookings run through GetYourGuide. When you book a wine tour through one of our links, GetYourGuide pays us a commission out of the platform's margin; your price stays the same. No contract ties us to a particular operator or estate, and the commission plays no part in how the tours are sorted.
Where our data comes from
Prices, ratings and review counts come from GetYourGuide's live API and refresh automatically several times a day. Durations, tastings, lunch and the other inclusions come from the product pages and were last checked by hand on 29 September 2026. If a tour has changed, write to us and we will correct the page.
Who runs the tours
We do not run any tours, and we are not affiliated with the Franschhoek Wine Tram, with any wine estate or with the tour operators whose trips appear here. They run the tours; we describe them. For binding information (cancellations, pickup times, age limits), the details on the product page at checkout take precedence.
Contact
Questions about a tour, corrections and press enquiries reach Patrick directly, and the answer usually comes within a day or two. The contact address, the postal address and the VAT ID are in the legal notice.
