Cape of Good Hope and Constantia Wine Tour with Private Wine Expert
Combine coastal drama and cellar-door calm on a private day tour from Cape Town. Visit the Cape of Good Hope’s wind-swept cliffs and two Constantia estates with an expert wine guide; tastings and guided stops included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Coastal conditions can switch from sun to blustery in minutes — a windbreaker and a mid-layer keep you comfortable on exposed viewpoints.
Sun and sea protection
Bring SPF, sunglasses and a brimmed hat; reflections from the ocean intensify UV exposure even on cool days.
Tasting etiquette
Pace tastings and drink water between flights — most estates offer spittoons and palate cleansers if you ask.
Watch for wildlife
Baboons and penguins are wild — observe from designated viewing areas and don’t feed or approach animals.

Conservation Note
Both Cape Point and Constantia lie within protected areas that prioritize fynbos conservation and responsible tourism — stay on trails, carry out waste, and avoid feeding wildlife.
Constantia was established in the late 17th century and became famous for fortified and dessert wines; the Cape of Good Hope has been a key maritime landmark since the Age of Exploration.
