If you like the idea of designing your own wine tour then the Bespoke wine tours are the way to go. Here are a few things to consider when planning a bespoke wine tour.
Wine routes:
Do you have a specific wine valley you would like to explore? Constantia, Durbanville, Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are all close enough to Cape town for day tours.

Wine cultivars:
Are you wanting to focus your tastings on specific cultivars? Pinotage and Chenin Blanc are considered South Africa's signature varietals but perhaps you would like to focus on bubblies, red wines, sweet wines or a bit of everything.
Educational tours:
Are you wanting to learn the basic about wine making and wine tasting? then let's include a vineyard or cellar tour.
Premium tastings:
Are you a wine aficionado wanting to taste the most exclusive wines from our most premium and awarded wine estates?
