Welcome to the CAPE WINELANDS! I believe life is too short to drink bad wine! Few places in the world can match the drama of the Winelands, where mountains rise above the covered valleys & 300-year-old home stead s that snooze in the shade of giant oaks. Camino Tours is your way to the wineries - to tour their cellars, taste their vintages, dine at their restaurant or enjoy a picnic basket on their grounds. Happily no one expects you to be a connoisseur, or even to buy the wines. If your interest is more aesthetic and cultural than wine driven, we will turn the focus on the more historic estates. Just come, relax and enjoy yourself... OUR WINE TOURS: - DAILY DIFFIRENT WINE TOUR (Stellenbosch / Franschoek ) - PRIVATE PACKAGE (Create your own tour) - CONTANTIA CLASSIC (Step back in time) - TRANQUIL TULBAGH (Get off the beaten track) - FAMILY FLAVOUR (For those young of heart) - ORGANIC OCCASION (For the health enthusiast or the curious minded) - WINE & FOOD PARING DELIGHT (Educational, but also fun!) - CONNESSUER S CHOISE (For those who know wine & what they like) - HONEYMOON HIGHLIGHT (Think Romance )
