Vine hopper - Southern route

Stellenbosch

Activity Description

The Vine Hopper day ticket is the most cost effective way to experience the Stellenbosch Wine Route. You can decide on what you want to do on the different farms and pay for tastings, tours or activities as you go along. Some of the highlights of the Southern route include great wines at famous Neethlingshof, enjoying a Brandy Tasting tour at the Van Ryn Brandy Distillery where the cooper shows off his ancient art of barrel making, different pairings available at Spier, or go pet an Eagle at Spier Eagle encounters. Relax with beautiful views at Haskell or a red wine and port tasting at Alto. Kleine Zalze is always a great way to end the day with a delicious wine tasting overlooking the Stellenbosch Mountain

Customer Reviews

We had such a brilliant day from start to finish! Collected by the lovely Ashdon, who told us the history of each area we drove through. He was friendly but professional and very accommodating with our wishes. We loved each vineyard and bought a bottle to take home from each vineyard! Would highly recommend this tour. - Anna


Very good Service. Driver in time at every winery.. the tastings were in high qualityy wineries. - Joachim


We had a wonderful day starting at 11am on the Southern route. We decided to stop at 3 vineyards. This gave us plenty of time for lunch and to enjoy tastings at each of them. Would highly recommend this trip. - Valerie


Was a really nice experience. The driver was amazing and friendly and also gave his own recommendation on what to do after we told him our plan. All the farms that we visited were really nice. We ended our trip at Alto, which was really nice - Karmi


A most enjoyable experience, but if we had been told prior that we needed to book a wine tasting, that would have made it more enjoyable. Shame it was a wet day, but that couldn't be helped. - Des
