Who the private tour suits

It suits travellers who spend a night or two in the Winelands: couples, friends or families who would rather set the pace than follow a group. With tastings and a lunch platter in the booking, the day needs little planning once you are in Stellenbosch. Reviewers describe visiting four estates in the day.

It suits you less if you are staying in Cape Town and want a single booking that covers the journey too. In that case, a guided day tour from Cape Town includes the road there and back — some with tastings and lunch in the booking. Our Wine Tram vs guided tour comparison lists what each one covers.

Getting to Stellenbosch from Cape Town

If you want the private tour but are staying in Cape Town, plan the journey as part of the day. Stellenbosch is closer to Cape Town than Franschhoek, but you still need transport there in the morning and back in the evening. If you drive to Stellenbosch, make sure whoever drives home has not been tasting — tastings and car keys do not mix.

Staying a night in Stellenbosch is the more relaxed way round: the tour’s transfer then covers you, and you can make an evening of it in town.

A private tour or a bike tour?

If you are in Stellenbosch anyway, the historical bike tour is the active alternative: a ride through town with two tastings on the way, about four and a half hours, starting in Stellenbosch. It is a guided tour, not a private one, and lunch is not included. Our Stellenbosch wine tour page sets out the full-day, half-day and bike options side by side.

In short

The private tour is a relaxed Winelands day for travellers based in Stellenbosch, with tastings and a lunch platter included. Its transfer covers 10 km around Stellenbosch, not Cape Town — from Cape Town, a guided day tour is the simpler booking.

★ 5.0 (47 reviews)

“We enjoyed a wonderful day with our tour guide Lejean. Her knowledge about Stellenbosch and its winerys is astonishing. We got picked up by her at 9:30 in a very clean and comfortable car. In total we visited 4 different vineyards, every one of them very special, beautiful and authentic. The wines we tasted were all of very high quality and it is even possible to order bottles and let them get delivered to our home …”
Vanessa · Switzerland · April 2026
“Our day with Lajean was truly exceptional. She tailored the entire experience to our love of sparkling and white wines and curated the perfect lineup of four beautiful wineries. We enjoyed a traditional tasting, cheese-and-wine pairing, a delicious lunch with wine pairings, and an unforgettable chocolate-and-wine pairing to finish. …”
Christine · USA · November 2025
“Lejean is the best wine tour guide you could wish for. She picked us up at the hotel with a modern and clean car and drove us to 4 different wineyards while explaining the most important information. We had a pleasant wonderful day and would highly recommend this activity to anyone who likes wine and good view. Any wish we had was fulfilled. 5 star experince!”
Daniel · Germany · January 2026
“What a fabulous day! Lejean was a fabulous host, incredibly knowledgeable about Stellenbosch and local wine. We discovered wineries which we would never have visited and had an invaluable insight into the Cape wines and the amazing history of the region. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience, and when we’re next back in the area we will be in contact with her again!”
Kevin · United Kingdom · January 2026
“That was a very nice, interesting and relaxing day! Lejean really knows everything about wine, the Stellenbosch wine region and the wineries we visited. Highly recommended!”
Werner · Germany · September 2026 · translated review

All the reviews we found are 5-star: the 1–3-star filter on the product page was empty when we checked on 30 September 2026. Reviewers describe four estates in a day and high-quality tastings, one describes a line-up tailored to their taste in wine, and five of the six reviews we collected name the same guide. The transfer detail on this page still applies: the return transfer only covers 10 km around Stellenbosch.
