Select participants and date
The morning air off Table Bay tastes faintly of salt and green fig when the van pulls away from the city. In the rearview, the flat top of Table Mountain shrinks as vineyards and fynbos take over. This is less a preset itinerary and more a conversation in motion: Pneuma’s private tours begin with questions—your palate, mobility, curiosities—then bend the day around them. By midday you’re sitting at a sunlit tasting table with a glass that tracks cool coastal breezes and granite soils, and later you find yourself pausing for a photograph where the coastline drops away toward Cape Point.

Adventure Tips
Book Robben Island Early
If you want Robben Island included, reserve the ferry slot as soon as you book—the island runs on its own timetable and sells out on busy days.
Layer for Coastal Wind
Cape weather changes fast; bring a windbreaker even on sunny days for seaside viewpoints and afternoon breezes.
Pace Your Tastings
Ask your guide for smaller pours or palate cleansers between tastings to keep your senses sharp over multiple vineyards.
Confirm Pickup Details
Provide exact hotel or airport details and request Winelands pickup if needed—Pneuma can extend radius with advance notice.

History
The Cape winelands date to the 17th century, when colonial farms established the region’s viticulture; many estates retain Cape Dutch architecture and centuries-old irrigation practices.
Conservation
Vineyards and guides increasingly emphasize water-wise farming and fynbos protection—ask estates about sustainable practices and bring reusable bottles to reduce single-use plastic.
