African Story Wine Tours · Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch
A small group of up to 11 drives from Cape Town through Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch for cheese, chocolate and wine pairings and a sit-down lunch. Pick it if you want the tastings paid in advance and someone else choosing the farms.
This tour does not use the Franschhoek Wine Tram. It is here because it answers the question many tram buyers are really asking: how do I taste a lot of good wine in one day without paying at every stop? The Includes list covers the guide, pickup and return transport, lunch, a cellar tour, chocolate and wine pairing, cheese and wine pairing, and the wine.
The day runs through Paarl (cheese and wine), Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, where the listing mentions a home-cloned Pinotage. Expect Cap Classique, port, dessert wines, reds and whites, and a stop at a small family-run winery. The guests quoted below mention four vineyards. Lunch is a la carte with vegetarian options. The listing does not name the estates.
The group is capped at 11, and everyone must be 18 or over. If you're staying outside the city centre, the listing asks you to make your way to the Westin and contact the operator about a meeting point. The Includes list also shows extra food and drinks, wine you buy and optional tips: pay for those yourself. It is not suitable for wheelchair users.
The operator collects you; outside the centre, you meet at the Westin. The listing does not fix the order of the stops below.
Goat and cow cheeses paired with wine.
A drive into the Franschhoek valley. Over the day the tastings take in Cap Classique, port, dessert wines, reds and whites.
A sit-down lunch with vegetarian options, included in the listing.
The listing mentions a home-cloned Pinotage in Stellenbosch. The cellar tour and the chocolate pairing also fit somewhere in the day.
