An enjoyable day out learning about South African wines - We thoroughly enjoyed this full day wine tasting. Yaz was a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. We visited 5 vineyards. As well as a variety of wines we enjoyed a delicious lunch and samples of cheese and chocolates designed to complement some of the wines.
The visit was well worth the time.

Wine, Wine. Wine, and views! - The views, food, and customer service were great. I wish the driver would have engaged the entire group. He spent most of the time taking to one lady after they shared similar career interests. You will have a large variety of wines and experiences. Worth the cost!

Amazing wine, chocolate & cheese 🍷 - What a wonderful experience we had with Wine Flies! We were picked up and driven out to Stellenbosch where we visited 4 wine farms, tasting wines MCC, doing cheese and chocolate pairings AND had lunch! Our guide was very knowledgable and really brought the stories to life with his humour. I highly recommend Wine Flies as a tour company. Professional, organised and they can curate special tours for you as well! I will definitely be going on another tour soon!

Terrific day out! - What a terrific day we had, pick up 9am from our hotel at Seapoint by Yaz and then headed off to Stellenbosch area with the other 11 guests. We visited 4 wineries in total Simonsig, Mitres Edge, Middelvlei and lastly Delheim. All beautiful scenery but Delheim was outstanding. Lovely cheese and chocolate pairing at Mitres Edge and a terrific Braai lunch at Middelvlei (sausage, chicken skewer, salad, potato salad, caramelised onions and the best toastie I've ever tasted! The wines were in abundance with at least 5 at each stop needless to say was feeling rather sleepy on the drive back at around 6pm. A great day with an excellent group of people from American, Australia, Israel, Canada, England and Scotland and a terrific guide Yaz, who was so knowledgeable. Don't miss out on a wonderful day. Rs 1980 (£90)
well worth it!

Great tour and delicious wines! - I had a great wine tour! We visited some good (and one fantastic) wine farms that are off the beaten path. Knowledgeable and fun guide and great (and plentiful) wine. We visited 4 farms and somehow didn't feel rushed. Lunch was fantastic. I was traveling solo, and this group tour of 11 was a good mix of solo, couple, and friends that had fun swapping traveling stories and fun banter. Just book it.

Well-Curated Wine Tour - We took a tour with Wine Flies through Stellenbosch. The wineries were well-curated and we got a lot of quality tastings and information at three of the four. Definitely worth putting our trust in Wine Flies to find wineries that varied in size while also being uniquely South African. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent All-Day Wine Tour - We had a great wine tour of Stellenbosch with Julian and Althea. Julian picked us up at our hotel and then we went to pick up the remaining guests on the tour and headed out on the quick drive to Stellenbosch. At the first winery, Simonsig, Julian explained how to use a sword to open a bottle of sparkling wine, and then Althea gave a tour of the facilities, followed by a tasting. We then went to Mitre's Edge, where the owner gave us a tasting of her family's wines. Julian then drove us to Middelvlei for lunch and more wines, and then to Delheim for the final tasting. By then, we were well and truly experienced in South African wines. Julian safely got us back to everyone's hotels in Cape Town, capping off a wonderful experience with evening rush hour traffic. Julian is a great guide who provided useful insight into the history of South African wine, the Stellenbosch area, and Cape Town itself. Really glad we chose this tour! Four wineries really took up a whole day and was plenty.
