The Helderberg area of Stellenbosch where we are located, is well known for producing some of the highest quality wines in South Africa and because of this is referred to as the golden triangle of Stellenbosch's wine making region. The farms that we visit are all unique, from grand estates to boutique producers and historic homesteads, the wine tractor gives you an opportunity to visit a variety of beautiful estates each with their own unique character and charm. Many of the farms also offer non-alcoholic tasting and pairing options so that even the non-drinkers can have their best day in the winelands.
Relaxed and not
rushed, exactly how
a wine tasting tour
should be. Our schedule is designed to give you enough time to truly enjoy yourself at the farms without feeling rushed so that you can truly enjoy yourself.
. . .
The most important thing is to enjoy the moment. The wine tractor takes you on an un-hurried journey along the back roads, through the vineyards, past the award winning nguni cattle and blue cranes giving you a unique perspective that only a tractor can. The schedule is designed to give you enough time to enjoy a wine tasting or a snack in one of the many restaurants available, before the tractor picks you up to take you to the next estate. Along the way, our knowledgeable guides will entertain you and teach you interesting facts about the area and the wine making process in general.
We offer a fully guided experience and fun for all ages, with activities for children and delicious food at our ticket office. We even have a cupcake service for special events should you be celebrating with us!
Every wine farm that we visit offers a unique atmosphere, the one thing all of them have in common is they are known for producing some of the finest wines in South Africa. With the cool breeze from False Bay, and the sunny north facing slopes of the Helderberg, the area where we are located has gained a reputation for wines of the highest quality and has become known as the golden triangle of Stellenbosch.
The experience starts the minute you arrive, with a welcome taster to enjoy while you wait for the tractor departure.
Some of the farms on the route offer non-alcoholic tasting and pairing options, making the trip to the winelands just as inclusive for those who prefer not to drink alcohol. From the single varietal grape juice and chocolate truffle pairing at our ticket office to the single varietal apple and pear juice tasting at Webersberg, there is something for everyone to enjoy on the wine tractor!
