      Explore the vineyards of Stellenbosch
      The Stellenbosch Wine Tractor tour provides a unique and enjoyable way to explore the vineyards of Stellenbosch. The ride on the tractor is a novel experience, offering panoramic views of the picturesque landscapes. The vineyards, with their rows of grapevines against the backdrop of clear skies, create a serene setting for the tour. The tractor itself offers a comfortable ride, making it easy to navigate through the vineyards. The seating is pleasant, ensuring a smooth journey across the varied terrain and also provides protection from the hot sun. This aspect of the tour is well-executed, balancing the adventurous feel of an outdoor activity with the comfort of a guided tour. A highlight of the tour was the wine tasting sessions, featuring a selection of the vineyards' finest wines. The tasting offered a range of flavors, showcasing the unique characteristics of the region's grapes. The guide was knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the region and its winemaking. The tour was well-timed, allowing for ample tasting, viewing and appreciation of the vineyards without feeling rushed. Overall, the Stellenbosch Wine Tractor tour is a worthwhile experience for those visiting the area. It offers a unique perspective of the vineyards, combining a comfortable ride with scenic views. I would recommend it for its enjoyable and relaxed approach to exploring Stellenbosch's wine country.

      Stellenbosch’s contender to Franschhoek’s wine tram!
      This unique new experience is a hot contender for Franschhoek’s famed wine tram. The tractor experience is more personal, farm oriented and authentic in my opinion. I went with a group of friends and we visited some of Stellenbosch’s best wineries. If you enjoy wine tasting, this is the way to do it!

      A rollercoaster wine tractor
      This is the perfect day trip in Stellenbosch. There are over 150 wineries in the area. How do you choose which ones to visit, and how do you plan? The Wine Tractor solves a large part of the conundrum. Great excuse to drink wine on a Sunday morning! Will have to return to visit the farms we missed the first time around.

      Must do day trip
      Must do day trip. They stop for about an hour or hour fifteen minutes at each wine farm so it’s a whole day activity. Guide Beatrix is very knowledgeable. Tractor seating is very neat and clean, and you get a welcome drink upon arrival. Fun activity to do. Would definitely recommend to do at least once.

    Every single part of the tour was memorable, every wine farm that was selected you could see was carefully thought out. Everyone from the driver and guides were super friendly and I really enjoyed the knowledge about each wine farm we came across.

    Each wine farm had it's wonderful unique experience and we had plenty of time to enjoy our selected range of wine. I highly recommend this experience to gain wine knowledge, area knowledge and taste a wide range of wine.

    I did the wine tractor 3 times now: Once with friends, once with colleagues and once with my partner.

    Such a personal and genuine experience to hear all the stories from the different farms, which I consider more as 'hidden gems' instead of the touristic well known farms. Especially the Gin distillery of Drunken Horse Gin was a discovery.

    Highly recommend!

    My friends and I embarked on the Stellenbosch Wine Tractor Hop-On Hop-Off Tour, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable wine-tasting experiences we've had! Even though it was during the cooler winter period, the tour was still nothing short of spectacular.

    The landscape, with its rich tapestry of autumnal colours, made the vineyards look like something out of a painting.
    The tractor ride itself was a unique and fun way to travel between the wineries. The hop-on-hop-off format was perfect, allowing us to explore at our own pace and really soak in the atmosphere of each estate.

    The wine tastings were, of course, the highlight. Each winery offered something special, from rich reds to crisp whites, and the winemakers were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. We learned so much about the winemaking process and the unique characteristics of Stellenbosch wines.

    Many of the wineries had fireplaces roaring, creating a warm and intimate setting to enjoy the wines. We also appreciated the hearty food pairings that complemented the wines perfectly, making the experience feel even more indulgent.

    Overall, the Stellenbosch Wine Tractor Hop-On Hop-Off Tour was a fantastic way to enjoy the region's renowned wines.The combination of stunning scenery, delicious wines, and the company of good friends made for an unforgettable day. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out, this tour is an absolute must-do!

    My husband and I had an amazing day on the wine tractor. We visited some beautiful small boutique wine estates and sampled some amazing wines with a very personable touch from the wine tractor staff and also the estate representatives. We highly recommend you including this trip if visiting the Stellenbosch area.

    We had an amazing family trip on the wine tractor in Stellenbosch! The journey through the rolling vineyards was both scenic and educational. My parents loved the beautiful countryside, while we enjoyed tasting exquisite local wines at charming wineries. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, making the tour enjoyable for all ages. I highly recommend this unique and delightful experience for families visiting the Cape Winelands!

    What great fun we had on this tractor trip! It was definitely a unique way to experience one of Cape Town's best attractions.
    The stops at each wine farm allow for enough time to enjoy the wine tastings and soak up a bit of the local history. The guides will also give more info about the area as you cruise between the farms.
    This is something I would do again!

    We had a fantastic day on the tractor. The best wine tasting experience in Cape Town buy far! They give you enough time to relax at each estate unlike the franshoek train where we felt rushed and pushed around as quickly as possible. Five stars to the tractor!

    The team was so welcoming and friendly! We got to learn about the history of the different estates while also admiring in the breath taking views along the way! Our guide was the absolute best, super fun and friendly! We felt really looked after throughout this tour and got to do everything at our own pace. I would highly recommend it, it's a great way to spend a whole day out with good company. We made precious memories on this tour and would definitely do it again!
