Highlights
More information
Escape the ordinary and experience Stellenbosch’s wine lands from deep within the vineyards themselves - aboard the unique Stellenbosch Wine Tractor. This isn’t your standard wine tour. It’s an off-road adventure through the working heart of South Africa’s most prestigious wine region, where only tractors dare to go.
Guided by passionate locals, you’ll travel winding farm tracks, private backroads, and through rows of vines, exploring a curated selection of up to 10 remarkable estates. These aren’t just postcard wineries - they’re living, breathing farms where vines are tended, grapes are crushed, and winemaking traditions thrive.
Each stop offers something special: from centuries-old Cape Dutch manors and boutique cellars, to award-winning restaurants and family-run gems. Whether you're sampling bold reds or indulging in non-alcoholic pairings, you’ll enjoy a slow-paced, immersive journey through the sights, smells, and tastes of Stellenbosch’s famed Golden Triangle.
The purpose-built tractor trailer offers a smooth and open ride, giving you panoramic views and a fresh perspective of landscapes most travellers never see. It’s fun for kids, fulfilling for wine lovers, and unforgettable for everyone. And if you buy a bottle (or a case), our team will keep it safe for you until the end of the day.
This is wine tasting the way it was meant to be—unhurried, immersive, and deeply rooted in the land itself. Come ride the vines.
