Cape Winelands: 3-Day Accessible Stellenbosch and Franschhoek Break

Open to every traveller. Book it as it is, or tell us what you need, such as a step-free room, a ramp vehicle, a slower pace or a sign-language guide, and we will adapt it for you.

3 days · By road · Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and the Cape Winelands, about an hour from Cape Town

Mountains, vineyards and long lunches. You stay in the winelands and visit estates chosen for step-free access, such as Kunjani Wines in Stellenbosch, which has a lift from the car park, raised tables with room for a wheelchair underneath and fully accessible bathrooms.

Who it works for

• Physical (wheelchair users and slow walkers): Yes (estates chosen for step-free tasting rooms and accessible toilets; we confirm each one before booking)
• Visual (blind and low vision): Yes, with support (tasting is all about scent and taste; your guide describes the views)
• Hearing (Deaf and hard of hearing): Yes (written tasting notes; interpreter on request)
• Hidden (autism, fatigue, chronic illness): Yes (an unhurried pace, with private tastings on request)

Where you stay

• Nights 1–2 · Stellenbosch or Franschhoek · a winelands hotel or guesthouse with a measured accessible room

As listed or similar, subject to availability and to a measured accessible room.

Best time to go

February–April for the harvest; September–November for spring. Winter (June–August) is green and rainy, with log fires.

Good to know

• Instead of the hop-on Wine Tram, you travel between estates in your own step-free vehicle, at your pace, with a driver, so nobody has to drive after tastings.
• Non-drinkers are welcome: many estates offer grape juice or food pairings, which we can book.
• Kunjani Wines: lift from the car park, raised tables and accessible bathrooms. Groot Constantia: accessible parking at Simon’s Restaurant, and accessible toilets and tasting at the Cloete Cellar.

Access details checked in October 2026 against: Cape Town Etc: wheelchair-friendly wine farm in Stellenbosch · Cape Town Tourism: wheelchair-friendly attractions. Facilities change, so we reconfirm every detail for your dates before booking.
