About Us

Welcome to the exciting world of Franschhoek Wine Tours. The friendly team at Franschhoek Wine Tours is excited to show you around the Winelands of the beautiful Cape – one of the most breathtaking wine regions of the world. All the guides at Franschhoek Wine Tours are skilled and highly knowledgeable (all the wine tour guides have been educated by the Cape Wine Academy) and we offer fun, yet informative day tours. The Franschhoek Wine Tours team have more than 17 years of experience between them within the wine tourism industry and is perfectly positioned to offer inside knowledge and hidden secrets of this magnificent wine region(s). At Franschhoek Wine Tours we operate our own fleet of vehicles, but sometimes we charter vehicles for larger corporate and incentive groups.

You can be sure that all the guided tours and transfers that are conducted by the friendly Franschhoek Wine Tours team will be done in a professional way and more often than not we exceed the expectations of our guests.
  
Franschhoek is also known as the Gourmet Capital of South Africa and we have some amazing restaurants in the area. We also offer gourmet tour packages for those interested. In general the gourmet tours (with overnight stays) run between the months of May to September each year and we can tailor make these gourmet tours to suit any budget and interest. The gourmet tours on offer from Franschhoek Wine Tours can be tailor made to any length of time (up to 10 Days) and can also include other exciting wine regions within South Africa.
Please contact us should you be interested in any gourmet tours between the months of May to September.
The gourmet tours can also include a couple of nights at one of the amazing safari lodges on the Garden Route.
  
We have been operating from within the Franschhoek Valley for a very long time and we know all the secrets, hideaways and off the beaten paths. For that very reason we have put together a list of amazing value for money accommodation options in and around the Franschhoek Valley. In most cases we have a “deal” with the accommodation establishments where we will and can offer you better rates (might only be a little here and there, but for every penny, pound or cent that you safe = 1 additional bottle of wine for you during your South African holiday)….hehehehe! You can just fill in the enquiry form on the page of the establishment of your choice and a friendly Franschhoek Wine Tours consultant will get back to you in a flash with a quote (unless it’s between 3am and 5am in the morning when we generally try to get some sleep)
  
As all the staff at Franschhoek Wine Tours (besides the owner) is quite clever we have put together a list of amazing safari lodges in the Western Cape area. We have done this as we know you can’t just taste our wine all day and you might need a day or three to recover from the breathtaking Cape Winelands. Again, you are welcome to browse through all the magical offers and if you don’t believe that we can offer you some pretty good rates then please contact them yourself and after you have heard from them you get in contact with us for a comparative quote. We will make you so happy with our quote that you will break out in some kind of funny dance (we are NOT to be blamed if you get arrested).
  
As many of you might know, the “off season” months in South Africa (May to end September) also bring you some discounted rates from most accommodation establishments. The Franschhoek Wine Tours team have put together some amazing off season packages with guest houses, hotels, restaurants, etc.
All you have to do is to contact us and let us know what you have in mind and let us take care of the rest.
  
At Franschhoek Wine Tours we maintain a fiercely independent approach in our industry, mindful of the fact that our client’s requirements and preferences must be met and exceeded. That means we carefully listen to your needs and do not try solutions which could be easier, quicker and more profitable. What we do best is to listen to what you want out of your South African dream, respect the budget that you have given us and then we work within that framework to make your dreams come true. At the end of the day…if YOU are happy with our service you will either come back again OR you will refer other guests to us…WE ALL WIN!!!
  
Franschhoek offers you many different day tour options to choose from. Franschhoek is one of the oldest established wine routes in South Africa and therefore Franschhoek offers many different wine tour options. However, wine tours are not the only day tour options than you can experience from the Franschhoek region. Franschhoek is so central to many other day tour regions. From Franschhoek you can venture as far afield as Hermanus on your day out. Please click on the “Franschhoek Day Tours” tab above for some amazing day tour options from Franschhoek.
  
We really look forward to you enjoying a fun and educational day out with us soon.
