What a great experience this was - a guided Winetour to Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek with Marc as a terrific guide with lots of knowledge also beyond the beautiful vineyards he chose. He went out of his way to show us the jail in which Nelson Mandela was held prisoner and also explained a lot about the current state of SA. Plus a safe driver. Thank you all. Oliver and Paula

Perfect day with our prívat guide Ray. Ray is very knowledgable, enjoyable to talk and ride with and could solve any of our requests. We visited Ernie Els Winery which is must for any wine lover, stopped at Stellenbosh and ate lunch at Java Bistro, then drove to Franschhoek and stopped at winery Klein Goederust and then visited Huguenot Fíne Chocolates. This Ray organized on a days notice. This service is highly reccomended!!!

Ray, our guide, made the day very pleasant and unforgettable with his relaxed and friendly manners. He is a very professional guide, during the day I learned a lot both about South African society and wine tasting. The weather was fine, the wine was tasty and the views spectacular. This is definitely something I recommend other travelers to experience!
Beautiful day in the winelands

This wine tour is well crafted itinerary. A 45 minutes from Cape Town, we were in Stellenbosch. Cape Town is very diverse. Our first winery De Morgenzon took us off with a uniqueness of playing classical music to it vines. The views are amazing from all the winery’s we visited. Our guide Ray made tour this effortlessly incredible. We visited Stellenbosch city and Franschhoek. Finished off with Fairview wine and cheese pairing 😋 South African wines are so good. We had a good time.
