FS Tours and the Wine Desk at the V&A Waterfront have introduced a new Cape wine trip called the The Wine Express. This fun tour is incredibly priced at only R395 per person per day, excluding tasting fees. Grab this special - as the average price of a wine day tour is usually around R700 per person.

It's a great trip for everyone and works perfectly for a family outing, since tastings are optional so you could have a cup of coffee or another beverage that may be available at the wine farm instead of the wine tasting, if that's your preference.

So all aboard... Hop on THE WINE EXPRESS, a wine tour that gets you to the wine country and back.

Tour itineraries change on a daily basis but are always structured the same:

Mini-bus departs V&A Waterfront at 10h00; visit 3 wineries in the Cape winelands; 1 hour free time to explore the historic town of Stellenbosch, (except Mondays -- which will take you to picturesque Franschhoek); bus arrives back at Waterfront by 16h00. All tastings are optional and not included in the tour price.

Special Price: R395 per person per day trip.
