1-Day Cape Winelands Tour, Paarl to Franschhoek

Your day begins in the Cape Winelands with a scenic drive to a top estate in Stellenbosch for your first cellar tour and wine tasting. From there, continue to the charming town of Franschhoek, where you’ll explore its rich French heritage before boarding the open-air Franschhoek Wine Tram. Hop on and off to visit prestigious wine estates, sampling award-winning wines along the way (meals and extra tastings at own cost). After lunch, head toward Paarl with a brief detour to Drakenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela spent his final days in captivity. In Paarl, enjoy a guided walk through the town followed by a visit to the renowned Spice Route—a unique collection of artisanal food, wine, beer, and craft stalls. The tour ends with a relaxing drive back, dropping you off at your hotel between 17:30 and 18:00.
