What To Expect

Meerlust Wine Estate

This 18th Century Vineyard has been in the Myburgh family since 1756 and is recognized the world over for its award winning wines. Only 5 Km from the ocean with its historical Cape Dutch architecture homestead and outbuildings, we take a step back in time in their tasting room filled with history and stories to taste their famous "Rubicon" Bordeaux blend among other varietals of red wine. Meerlust was the first vineyard in South Africa to produce a Bordeux Blend in South Africa. Because of its unique position close to the ocean, cool sea breezes and evening mists allow for the production of wines with complexity and full concentrated flavours

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Rust en Vrede Tasting Room

Tucked away in the folds of the Helderberg mountains and shielded from the powerful South-Easterly winds Rust en Vrede (Rest and Peace) is perfectly situated to produce full bodied reds with powerful structure and excellent aging potential. We taste their selection of Estate wines under the Oak trees and afterwards take a stroll through their cellar

Big Reds, Subtle Whites, and Eye-Popping Scenery. Wine at its Best.

Totally professional from pre-tour communication to every facet of the experience itself. Willem had nearly encyclopedic knowledge of the South African (and particularly the Stellenbosch region) wine industry. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed. This is a tour for people who truly want to soak up all the sights, sounds, smells and particularly tastes of wines from great wine producers...in settings that can only be described as stunning. I consider myself a wine geek, and this tour (and guide) stretched the limits. Awesome for wine lovers!!

We visited Morgenster, Vergelegen, Rust En Vrede, Stark Conde and nice restaurant for lunch. Fully satisfied as I could enjoy tasting at my own pace and every wines I tasted were really fantastic. Highly recommend for South African "big" red wine lovers.

If you love wine, you have probably realized that most of the best wines come from smaller wineries. The challenge is to find those wineries and get inside for a tasting of their best wines. Your problem is solved. My wife and I took this private tour in May 2019, and found ourselves escorted by a level four sommelier to his favorite wineries in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. He is not always be the driver, but he has curated the list of wineries to include his favorites, and he is educating four more drivers to meet demand. We took a different tour the day before, which stopped at the touristy wineries with massive productions, and we were disappointed in the wines. Not this time! Despite luggage concerns, we had to bring home 6 bottles of these excellent wines. (The wine arrived safely). I highly recommend this tour.
