Hermanus is blessed with an incredible wine valley which offers 20 wineries, 10 great tasting rooms, over 100 award winning wines for you to sample and 5 fabulous lunch time restaurants all set in majestic mountainous scenery.

The cooler maritime climate is perfect for producing outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and is the region in South Africa for world class Pinot Noirs.

Wine Tours are conducted by an accredited Cape Wine Academy Tour Guide in a luxury air-con minibus, who will inform you of loads of relevant wine information – on the history of wine, vine and grape cultivation, cellar processes, barrels, corks, exports and lots more while you slowly sip your delicious wines.

Tours can start with a drive high up onto scenic mountain range to give you a marvelous birds-eye view of the wine valley and Hermanus, to orientate you and to explain what our wine region is all about.

Included in your Wine Tour minibus are – free ice-cold waters, box of crackers to cleanse your palates between each wine tasted, John Platter SA wine book to see what the experts have to say about each wine that you are sampling and many other comforts.
