Sip And Savor : A Perfect Half Day Wine Escape To Stellenbosch

We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide was Yomi and she is so knowledgeable and shared a lot of history. We also really enjoyed meeting the other guests on this tour. Two winery tastings was the perfect amount for us so we are glad we could do a half-day tour. Also, it was so nice that they were able to arrange vegan food options to pair with the wine for me. Thank you!

We absolutely loved the tour! We visited two wineries and enjoyed wine tastings at both. The places were beautiful and really lovely. Yomi, our tour guide, is such a wonderful person with a great vibe! She is funny, friendly, and drove us around with great care and confidence, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. I highly recommend Glorious Cape Tours — 100%! An excellent tour company and a fantastic experience! 🍷✨

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide! She was warm, friendly, welcoming, and incredibly informative. She explained everything clearly, shared fascinating insights, and made the entire tour both enjoyable and memorable. Her passion for what she does really shone through, and she made us feel comfortable and engaged throughout the experience. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing tour experience. Thank you for making our tour so special! 🌟

We had a lovely time!!! Cotlin was informative; countryside beautiful; wine delicious; people delightful and experience very educational! Would highly recommend!!!!

Easy pickup and ride was nice. Had a winetour with stops at two estates. Both nice but very different. Marianne, small more familiar estate, tasting wine with biltong(jerky). 2nd at Farview, bigger noisier but still nice tastingrooms, and this time wine+cheese. Extra stop in Stellenbosch and about an hour walk around or grab something to eat or drink. Prefect halfday.

This was so much fun and well organized but damn that wine hangover !! The guide was so bubbly and friendly . We did two winelands : stellenbosch and Fairview . Amazing views ! We also had a walk around Stellenbosch.Oh how beautiful’

Yomi was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating of my friend who is a soon to be mom, and funny. She added flavour to the tour. We kept time throughout the morning, but I never felt rushed. This was a really good tour.

From pick-up at our hotel to drop-off near great restaurants we thoroughly enjoyed a late morning-midday wine tasting event. This was coupled with an enthusiastic and articulate tour guide (Letitia and her intern) on the background and history of the area. Two wonderful and completely different wineries following a 30-minute break in Stellenbosch was a great way to start a day of adventure with very interesting fellow passengers (There were seven of us plus the two guides.) The weather wasn’t great but the guides and fellow passengers made it a fun and informative outing. I feel the 5 hours spent were quite appropriate and I’m not sure any more time spent would be of value.

The description of this tour lists it as a private tour with your own guide that allows for flexibility, but in reality, it is a small group tour with limited flexibility. The guide is more of a chauffeur who hands you off to folks at the wineries to lead you through the tastings. It’s a fine experience and we enjoyed it overall. The ultimate truth is that the way this company advertises the experience and what you actually receive is very different, so just know that going in. The guide also preemptively sent a message imploring that guests should tip the day before the tour, which was somewhat off putting. I definitely share gratuities after a great experience, but setting a precedent that it is expected is gross.

​I recently booked a Stellenbosch wine tour with Glorious Cape Tours, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. ​The selection of wineries was excellent, offering a great mix of superb tastings, beautiful estates, and rich local atmosphere. A special mention goes to our guide, who was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and consistently attentive to my needs throughout the day. ​The pricing was completely fair and well-aligned with the high quality of service provided. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Cape Winelands hassle-free!

We had a lovely morning in Stellenbosch tasting wine. Everything was well organized, we didn't have to think about anything, just enjoying ourselves

We had the best day on this wine tour! We met some lovely people and Yomi was an exceptional tour guide. She was knowledgeable, helpful and very funny too :) Highly recommended and a perfect way to experience the beauty of the Cape winelands!

Fun tour with fun new friends.

It was a lovely day with stops at two vineyards, excellent food and wine at the tastings. - personable guide, and lots of information shared about the region.

Excellent trip to get a flavor of the wines around Capetown. Nene was a fabulous tour guide, full of interesting stories and sparkling energy!

Wonderful experience on this tour with Doney! This is the perfect amount of time to experience the wine region and get back in time to see other things. Really enjoyed it.

Leticia was a fantastic guide who shared her first hand knowledge about Cape Town and about the wine region we visited. She was enthusiastic and has a real love for what she does - and it shows! The Fairview and Marianne wineries we visited were welcoming and wonderful. It was fun to sample the different vintages. I recommend this for any couple or group. The time was managed very well and we were given space to explore a bit on our own. Thank you Leticia!

Thank you very much for a perfect visit to 2 wineries, namely Fairview and Marrianne. A very good experience for us to be able to be introduced and tried difference types of reds and whites wine. Not forgetting to thank our tour guide Cotlint who provided us a safe and pleasant journey, and some introduction of Cape Town and the vineyards. A fruitful half day trip for us.

We had a wonderful half day tour of Stellenbosch. Our guide Cotlint was amazing. She kept us entertained in the car by giving us a lot of information about South Africa. The first winery we stopped at had great wine and cheese (and goats!). The second winery had an incredible view, good wine, tasty jerky, and a vegetarian option for those who don’t eat meat. We were able to walk around the second winery and get great pictures. Following the wine, we had a nice ride through the town of Stellenbosch while Cotlint played us music. The energy was high throughout the tour and that is all thanks to Cotlint. Highly recommend this tour. Dankie Cotlint!

Such amazing tour, Our guide Cotlint is so funny and provided a lot of information and showed incredible knowlodge about the region We had an enjoyable time

We had such an enjoyable tour, tasted great wines. Anthea was very informative throughout the tour, we had great conversation. I highly recommend.

Leticia was amazing! Very accommodating and very knowledgeable

This tour brought us to 2 wine makers, each place hase 6-7 wine + taste pairings. We had a good group of people, everyone enjoyed themselves.

An amazing experience. Already started during the drive to the first wine farm where our driver explained about the history and different regions of cape town. The first wine farm had amazing wine and cheese and on the second very strong wine with biltong. A half day is plenty for liking after 11 glasses of wine I have seen most of it. Wine farms have beautiful view and as a group we connected well. Perfect for solo travelers and smaller groups.

I had a very pleasant experience and it is a good introduction to wine in the region. Doney is absolutely excelent and a lot of fun. See you when I get back Doney and have fun!

What a fab way to spend a day tasting some great wines. All of the wine estates were all geared up for visiting tourists, we did wine & cheese pairing at Fairview wine estate which was so good. Our guide was Doney who made the day with all her help & advice. Would I recommend this tour absolutely.

Excellent half day of wine tasting and fellowship.

The trip was simply wonderful! Great wine, delicious cheese and biltong, and breathtaking views. Leticia was a fantastic tour guide who told us so much about South. I'd love to do it again!

Our small group had a fantastic time with NeNe. She was a delight and super accommodating. The stops were all wonderful. We highly recommend.

We had a fantastic trip to the wine regions around Cape Town and can highly recommend the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day from beginning to end. We would especially like to commend our guide, Neyney. She was an absolutely superb host! With her warm personality and profound knowledge, she not only introduced us to the world of South African wines but also gave us very personal and moving insights into the history and life of South Africa. The selection of wineries was perfect: At Marianne Wine Estate, we were impressed by the combination of French elegance and the story surrounding Nelson Mandela's birthday wine. At Fairview, the wine and cheese tasting was a real highlight (and the goat tower is simply iconic). The side trip to Stellenbosch with its historic architecture was also well worth seeing. If you're looking for a perfectly organized tour with depth and great wines, this is the place for you. Thank you, Neyney, for this special experience!

Today we did the Half Day Wine Tour with Cotlint!! And what an amazing experience it was. She was so informative about Cape Town and the Cultures of South Africa. She gave up snippets of information regarding the two wine Farms we visited, truly an amazing experience and an even better tour guide. Thank you Cotlint

We had an amazing time with Letitia 👍 who was so enthusiastic and made us feel at ease right from the pick up ☝️ highly recommended this for anyone 🤠

Was great . Cotlint is very nice and knowledgeable.. we had a great time

Great experience 10/10 , learnt a lot about wine and the food it goes with! Also saw a big goat … very bigg Definitely worth it

Such a great experience! Our guide knew so much of the history which made it special! The wines were amazing and the food paring made it perfect!

Had a wonderful wine tasting experience, we visited 2 wineries at Stellenbosch and had some time to wander through the township itself as well. Our guide got the day, Leticia, was a delight and made the time travelling from Cape Town both enjoyable and informative. I would highly recommend this tour, and Leticia as your guide

This trip was great and Doney is a wonderful guide, who shared plenty of info on Cape Town history and Society, as well as on its wine production. She also provided useful tips on wine tasting for beginners. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience. Ivy was very informative and professional she made us feel so comfortable we truly enjoyed ourselves. The wine farms she took us to were beautiful.

It was a very good experience and we were especially happy with our guide Doney, who made the trip even more fun for the adults and for the kids as well

Fabulous experience. Amazing weather, amazing wine, amazing scenery.

Doney was our guide she is such a sweet lady enjoyed the afternoon with her I would recommend her to anyone who would want to enjoy they wine 🍷 testing

Great experience , we got to see more than one vineyard and tried a lot of wine. Pretty drunk by the end :)

We loved our trip! Great staff!

I booked my tour the day before. Communication from the guides on pick up was sent that evening and prior to pick up. Couldn't my guide made sure I could grab a coffee before we headed off. Fairview winery was a great start for tasting. Paired with great cheeses, some from their own goats you can see on site. We were handed over to Leticia our next guide at Marianne winery. Sitting on the balcony looking at the mountains, I could have stayed for much longer. Our 2 guides were VERY accommodating all throughout. I have visited the town of Stellenbosch before, so could have stayed at the wineries! A great day out. Thank you to both of you.

The tour was great. Both wineries were different so it gave us a different experience for both. Our tour guide Cotilin was both knowledgeable and funny. She made the trip worth the price herself.

Great experience! Lovely venues and Rameez was a brilliant guide!

We visited 2 beautiful farms in the Stellenbosch wine area was a lovely experience, Doney, our host was incredible, she was super friendly and always popping jokes with us, she drove really well and made us feel comfortable and safe on this trip

We did our tour with a lovely woman called Doney. She was amazing. She is so warm, approachable, bubbly, funny and has a great spirit overall. And she was genuinely interested in us as individuals. She made quite the impression :D She took us to both Groot Constantia & Stellenbosch. She provided a phenomenal hosting experience overall: was able to explain the historical context around a number of landmarks, the farms / land, wineries etc. She even threw in some nice extras for the kids: ice cream afterwards. Of course they loved it! 👌🏽 But generally, she was very attentive to our kids and even us as adults. She went the extra mile for us all. I would heartily recommend her as a tour guide for anybody. You will have the best time 🤩🙌🏽

Good trip but the pickup time got changed with 1h -so make sure you keep an eye open. Should be 5h but was 6.5h, the guide was very good and the tastings too... I would have loved to see more of the actual vineyards, plants etc. But that's my personal opinion.
