Can I visit vineyards in Stellenbosch without booking a tour in advance?

The Tour I went on was organised by Cape Town Backpackers, and was a small group with a driver/guide. We visited four vineyards of which I can sadly only find the details of three: Backsberg, KWV, and Tokara.

I wouldn’t trying to squeeze more than four into a day as they’re not exactly close to each other and at each stop we sampled between four and six wines with cheese, and normally two brandies with chocolate (seemed weird but the South Africans love it).

I checked the sites above and they all accept singles for tasting and you can join scheduled cellar tours.

Personally I’d recommend against driving yourself, unless you intend to spit everything you try, which in my opinion, would be a real waste!

You could try contacting Luhambo tours, who do daily tours leaving from Cape Town. Small groups with specialised wine guides. +27 21 551 04 67.

If you want to do it yourself, maps, information on vineyards that receive and accommodate visitors and advice on getting to them are all available from the very helpful people at the Tourism and Information Bureau in Stellenbosch.

Also have a look at Wikitravel’s page on the Cape Winelands. It mentions several other tour companies that include half-day and single day tours. Quite a range of prices too! It also lists down the bottom the famous wine estates of the region, including their opening times and contact details.
