Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl in a single private day out — a personal driver, a flexible route, and nobody worrying about drink-driving home.
The Cape Winelands sit right on Cape Town's doorstep, but the towns and estates worth visiting are spread out, the tasting rooms keep their own hours, and nobody in your group wants to be the designated driver. A private tour with i-Drive solves all three: Harry (or one of his drivers) plans the route around what you actually want to see, keeps the day moving, and gets everyone home safely at the end of it.
No two Winelands days are identical. Here's the shape a typical private tour takes.
South Africa's oldest wine town — oak-lined streets, historic Cape Dutch architecture, and estates ranging from big-name cellars to small family producers. Usually the first stop on a full-day route.
The "food and wine capital" — known for fine-dining lunches, MCC (Cape sparkling wine) and a walkable village centre. A favourite spot to stop for lunch between tastings.
Home to some of the region's largest producers and the Taal Monument lookout over the valley — a good option if your group wants bigger cellars and sweeping views alongside the tasting.
Big-name estates or small family cellars, MCC or reds, a long lunch or a packed itinerary — share your group size, budget and what you're after.
Harry builds a realistic day around 3-4 estates plus lunch, with pickup from your hotel, Airbnb or the CBD, V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay or Sea Point.
No parking, no navigating unfamiliar roads, no counting drinks — your driver waits at each stop and gets you to the next one on schedule.
Back in Cape Town by early evening, with time to freshen up before dinner if it's part of a longer stay.
Tasting fees go directly to the estates and vary by cellar and by how many tastings you choose, so transport pricing depends on your group size, vehicle, chosen towns and how long you're out for. Send us your dates and preferences and we'll come back with a straightforward quote — no hidden extras.
Pair your Winelands day with a separate Cape Point, Boulders Beach and Chapman's Peak tour.
Extend into the Robertson wine valley and the Kogmanskloof pass on Mr H's Route 62 & Montagu Escape.
Use the Winelands as day one of a longer overland trip toward Knysna and Tsitsikamma.

Most full-day tours combine Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, roughly 45-60 minutes from Cape Town. Happy to focus on just one or two towns instead.
Full days typically run 09:00-17:00/18:00 with time for 3-4 estates and lunch. Half-day options are available too.
No — tasting fees are paid directly to each estate and vary by cellar. We handle the route, timing and bookings.
Yes — that's the point. Your driver handles the road so everyone in your group can taste without worrying about getting home.
Yes — commonly paired with a Cape Peninsula day, or extended into Route 62 and the Robertson valley.
It depends on group size, vehicle, chosen estates and duration, so we quote each trip individually — contact us with your dates.
