THE CAPE BEST WINE TOUR BY FAR!

Rob_E, May 2023

Our Tour Guide Bruce Storey, a wealth of experience, knowledge and an entertaining and engaging expert on the Wines of the Western Cape, pairing, incites, history and everything that makes for the most enjoyable wine tour experience. Highly recommended to all. The selection of vineyards, wines and paring s was amazingly perfect. Add the stunning settings, delightful winemaker hosts and the discussions had with them to share their passion for what they do and what they bring for our enjoyment.

Awesome opportunity to experience 4 vineyards

Alexis_M, May 2023

Well executed tour - small group, beautiful views, delicious wines, exceptional lunch. Highly recommend for a convenient way to see the Winelands and learn more about the craft of wine

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for joining us.

High quality, high value wine country excursion.

Lauren_B, May 2023

Highly recommend! Did this tour in 2019 and liked it so much that I signed up again in 2023. The small group format makes for a personal experience very different from big group bus excursions. The owner and guides are very knowledgeable and friendly and the selection of four vineyards varies (so in 2023, only one of four was a repeat for me, and a very worthwhile repeat at that).

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you, thanks for joining us again.

A perfect day with the best tour guide and wines!

Andrea_E, May 2023

Our tour guide Donovan was incredible! So knowleadable and fun and added that extra touch. The 4 wineries we visited were all stunning and the wines were delicious. We felt special every place we went and all 4 of us had a blast. We'd 100% recommend the tour to anyone.

Response from Host, May 2023

Awesome, great having you.

Perfect Winelands Tour!

Eliana_S, May 2023

This was such a great tour! We only had six people in this tour and it was fun from the time we arrived at the first winery until we were dropped off at our lodging at the end of the day. Bruce our driver and guide was excellent! He informed us of what to expect and everything we would experienced throughout the day. He even took us to an out of this world location with a beautiful background for pictures! We visited four wineries and all were beautiful and the wines, FANTASTIC! Our lunch was included and perfect. I cannot recommend this tour enough, especially if you have Bruce with you! Thank you for an amazing day!

Response from Host, May 2023

It was lovely having you, glad that you enjoyed the day

Bad tour guide

Leah_B, Apr 2023

The tour itself was good but our guide made many racist and bigoted jokes that made everyone very uncomfortable and ruined the experience

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Sorry! Will be checking in on it. We do not like racism at all. We love all and want to make a difference to all in South Africa

Very good service. They...

Mbuso_G, Apr 2023

Very good service. They pick you from a hotel and take to wine estates. The guide is very knowledgeable of the history of the area (and country) and all that is required in terms of the wine estates, the wines, etc. Smashing experience! Will recommend it any day.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for joining us.

If there’s a wine tour to take, look no further!

David_M, Apr 2023

The wine tour was perfect! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to know everyone wherever we went. We were treated to a lot of knowledge, including how the wine is made and and stored at almost all the vineyards. The wines were delicious and we even ended up ordering a case to get shipped home. The scenery of the drive was also beautiful and made this one of the best choices to do if you a day to go. I’ve been on a lot of wine tastings, and this was one of the best by far!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

So glad that you enjoyed the day.
