Gansbaai Wine Tours

Custom, private wine tours in the Overberg

Cape Whale Coast Wines

Touched by the cool ocean breeze and warm African sun, surrounded by the tranquility of farm life, grapes are turned into world class wine. History, family traditions and modern winemaking come together in this iconic part of South Africa where

two oceans meet.

The region is famous for its cold climate wines. The Stanford Wine Route produces a range of wines, beers and spirits on family operated and small scale farms. Cape Agulhas Wine Route includes the Southernmost wine farm in Africa and two farms that produce craft beer.

Breathe in fresh air laced with the smell of fynbos, plants endemic to the Cape Floral Region that include Proteas. Enjoy the natural beauty and maritime history influences of the Cape Whale Coast in the Overberg (Overstrand) and Cape Agulhas regions, while being responsible not drinking and driving.

Customise your wine tour by selecting the estates that you would like to visit, and if and where you would like to have lunch. Your host is a Western Cape accredited Tour Guide and speaks Afrikaans, English and Dutch.
