Constantia Wine Tour Cape Town: Full-Day Tasting & Lunch

Summary

Premium Wine Tastings & Lunch in Constantia’s Vineyards

You’ll get picked up right from your door and spend a day tasting premium wines at Constantia’s most historic estates—no bills to settle or lines to wait in. Enjoy a three-course lunch with mountain views, learn from local guides who know their stuff, and relax knowing everything’s sorted for you.

What’s the experience like?

The morning started with our driver pulling up right outside my guesthouse—no stress about finding the place or waiting around. The air was cool, a bit of mist still hanging over Table Mountain as we headed out. Our guide, Sipho, handed out chilled water and those branded caps (I went for navy blue). He knew every shortcut through the city, so we reached Constantia before the crowds.

First stop: Groot Constantia. You can smell the oak barrels even before you step inside the cellar. Sipho pointed out old photos on the wall—turns out this is South Africa’s oldest wine estate. We tried a crisp sauvignon blanc while looking out at rows of vines and the back of Table Mountain. No lines, no fuss—everything was booked ahead.

Lunch was at a spot called Jonkershuis. I picked the bobotie; others went for fresh fish. Three courses, all local flavors, and honestly, I could’ve sat there all afternoon watching clouds drift over Constantia Berg. Later, we visited two more estates—each with their own vibe and stories (the second one had a chocolate pairing that surprised me). Sipho snapped photos for us throughout; he emailed them later that night.
