Itinerary
Day 1
FULL DAY WINE TOUR
Allow us to take you on a breathtaking journey through 2 of the most beautiful wine routes in the world : Stellenbosch (1st wine route in South Africa) and the gourmet capital of South Africa, Franschhoek.
We guarantee food for the soul (amazing views), food for the mind (history) and food for the body (world class cuisine and wine).
The best way to have an unforgettable winelands experience is to join our custom made daily wine tours (with no set itinerary).
Each day / tour is planned around the palate and interests of our guests in the vehicle. Our experienced guides will make suggestions of estates to visit off the beaten track. All our tours are guided by Cape Wine Academy educated guides and our groups will never be bigger than 10 guests.
Our guests are always assured of personalized service as our registered and well informed guides present most of the tastings themselves.
On a typical day guests can expect to visit between 3-4 wine estates (time permitting) and they will taste anything between 4-8 wines per estate.
Our rates include all tasting and entrance fees of wine estates selected by our tourguide. Lunch will be for your own account.
Guests will be collected from their hotels / guest houses and will be dropped off as well after a day of tasting.
La Rochelle Tours has a great reputation to exceed expectations.
Be responsible : don't drink and drive : go on a tour with us!
Savour every drop of nature's nectare on this day!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
