Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came to the Visitor Information Centre at the last minute having failed to book the Wine Train in advance of our arrival in Stellenbosch. We had a good idea of the wineries we wanted to visit, having already done a tour of some on our last visit 4 years ago, so it was a case of seeing what we could arrange on our arrival there. Full marks to the lady manning the desk when we rolled in and I am sorry we did not get her name to give her full credit, but she made a few calls, arranged a tour for us of selected vineyards and confidently said make your stop for lunch at Delheims, I've had lunch there and its good. Only one of the wineries we visited was on our list, but that lady in the visitor centre was totally up to speed on all that's on offer around this lovely town and on reflection, we visited some of the perhaps less known wineries but none the less well worth a visit and her recommendation for lunch at Delheims was spot on. So I say forgo the beaten trail of the wine train route and let yourself go on a wonderful magical tour of discovery recommended by the amazing knowledgeable ladies who man this excellent visitor centre! My grateful thanks and hope to your services again

The Stellenbosche centre is quite a small concern near the centre of Stellenbosch. When I went there (on a Friday afternoon), there was a range of useful leaflets, and the lady behind the desk was extremely helpful and made several calls to fix me up with what turned out to be a very good wine tour (reviewed elsewhere on Tripadvisor).
So, a sucessful visit ... but ...
There was only 1 person on duty, fielding all in-person calls, as well as the numerous phone calls that occured during my stay. When i arrived there were two people in front of me, and I left with my sucessful wine trip booked over half an hour later (not the fault of my advisor - just the numbers available to advise). The service is good, my helper both knowledegable and enthusiastic - but if you're visiting, be sure to allow enough time to get whatever you want sorted out.

Very small, and only focused on Wine.
It has the advantage of being in the middle of the safe part of town.
But if you aren't into wine tours, it isn't going to help you much.

Did the hop on hop off wine tour, very friendly and knowledgable driver. Make sure you get on an early trip as you need about an hour at each wine tasting. Do not miss if visiting Stellenbosch.

We stopped in to inquire about the Hop On Hop Off wine tour service, and ended up signing up not only for that but also for a walking tour of the city. The wine tour was great - Realistically you could probably make it to 4 or 5 wineries but it would be a bit rushed. We did 4, with a leisurely lunch at one of the winery restaurants. Our driver Hussein even took us to a winery off the route that was quite lovely - Muratie. It was a great way to see the various wineries. They do a different route on different days of the week, so you could go more than once and not repeat the wineries you saw. The walking tour was fantastic. We arranged to meet and then she walked us all over the town giving great insight into the history and the architecture. Very enjoyable.

Very helpful and friendly people here! Gave us advise on parking; the meter people usually leave after 12noon so you don't have to worry about moving your car if your time has expired. It was true!

The cape town wine region is world famous and enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Nothing beats a day away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy on a beautiful wine farm and there is no better region than stellenbosch

We did a wine tasting day tour to the vineyards in Stellenbosch, Franchhoek and surrounds. Our guide TK was excellent company and very knowledgeable about many topics, not just wine -- it is a good way for tourists to learn about south africa in general. Highly recommended. I ended up buying 3 bottles of wine and would definitely do it again. Just be sure to pace yourself and not drink all of the wines you don't like: they give quite a large sample dose and it is easy to get very drunk after so many tastings!
