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. On the Northern Route you could visit the well known Beyerskloof and taste their speciality, Pinotage. Visit Simonsig with it`s fantastic wine, restaurant and views or Warwick, a great place for a picnic. Delheim will spoil you with hospitality and marvelous wine. Remhoogte is the next stop with a relaxing atmosphere before we end the day at L’Avenir with various wine tasting options available

Had a very good experience doing the Northern Wine Route with my partner. There are 6 estates on this tour. Got picked up by a car outside our residence and taken to the first estate where we met another two couples and our minibus driver/guide for the day. Ended up visiting "only" 4 estates as we all decided to take our time and enjoyed great food & wine at the Warwick estate before calling it a day. All estates offer something different so there is a bit for everyone. My personal favourites were Simonsig (sparkling), Delheim & Warwick (both whites & reds). It was a great day out, visiting beautiful estates, tasting wines & meeting new friends. Best to start early as on average each visit takes about an hour or two if you stop for lunch. Good to have a the mini bus and not worry about drinking & driving. We got dropped off at our residence too. Highly recommended - Bruno
Wir haben die Tour mit Marshal schon zum 2. Mal in 2 Jahren gemacht. Es war wie beim letzten Mal eine sehr unterhaltsame Tour mit tollen Weingutern (tlw. Andere Guter als 2023) und Verkostungen. Kleiner Tip: wer zu zweit teilnimmt, sollte sich eine Verkostung teilen. Das beste an der Tour war Rusterman Marshal, immer gut gelaunt und engagiert. Wir haben den Tag und die Weine sehr genossen und auch tolle Gesprache mit den anderen Tourgasten. Gerne wieder - Andreas
We thoroughly enjoyed our Vine hopper wineries tour. Booking process was simple and the organisation was excellent. Our 2 drivers Marshall and Charlton were extremely friendly and helpful. - Nina
Great Tour through the vineyards, safe and great driver so we could just enjoy the experience with wine drinking. We had the chance to see five vineyards but decided to only visit three and spend more time at those. Would recommend to other tourists! - Susanne
Fantastic experience on the northern route of the vine hopper. Our driver was informative and funny and the estates we visited were stunning especially Warwick and Remhoogte. Would fully recommend. - Peter
