Wonderful Day visiting Wine Farms! - Had a fantastic day with Willem! Custom tour set up for us that was wonderful. We appreciated that it was door to door pickup and drop-off. He was very informative and was able to answer our questions about the area, history of Cape Town and surrounding towns, as well as the wine farms. Perfect way to spend the day and enjoy some great wine and food tastings. Lunch at Tokara was a delight. We enjoyed an olive oil/food pairing prior to our lunch. Would highly recommend!

Knowledgeable wine guide and perfect wine pairings - Our guide Pamela was very knowledgeable about the wines we were tasting and the region. The three wineries chosen were outstanding. The first one Muratie was my favorite because it had an interesting history. The cheese pairing at the next winery Lavenir was delightful. The lunch stop at Guardian Peak had gorgeous view and yummy food. The final stop Waterford Estate had a chocolate pairing which I enjoyed. We bought chocolate to take home.

Great tour, wonderful guide! - Tsiba Tsiba was great to work with all throughout the process. They were communicative and allowed for a really great custom tour. My friend and I enjoyed our tour immensely. Our guide, Pamela, was very knowledgeable about the wines, and provided us with some really great history and insight into South Africa’s history, and Cape Town specifically as well. She was so great, we wanted her to stay with us for the rest of our trip!

Expert knowledge from a skilled guide - We enjoyed a custom private wine tour of the Stellenbosch area with Eileen. Eileen did an amazing job thoughtfully selecting vineyards that met the specific preferences that we outlined before the tour. She was a pleasure to spend the day with as she's personable/friendly and has an absolute wealth of knowledge about wine and the region. Eileen is clearly a skilled guide as she took the extra effort to clearly communicate and clarify expectations, next steps, and her expert suggestions throughout the entire day. She also took the extra step of adding an olive oil tasting to help the non-drinker in the group feel that much more included. It felt like we had a friend taking us around to her favorite wineries, which was such a treat. She has clearly built strong relationships at each winery and the hospitality, generosity, and warmth extended to us. This tour is well worth it to enjoy a top-notch experience of an excellent wine region.

Spectacular place and a fantastic guide! - The private wine tour for 2 people was an absolutely fantastic day. Willem was a spectacular guide who was very knowledgable and incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this tour for a day out of Cape Town to see the unbelievably beautiful wine country!

Outstaning Private Wine Tour - What a great day of touring 4 different wineries with Pamela our guide. Pamela knows her 'stuff' and we enjoyed our personal tour, just my wife and I and Pamela.
She gave great recommendations for the wine and various pairings with cheese and other foods. The wineries were generous with their pours and we were certainly feeling it at the end of the day!
Highly recommend this private tour, really gives you a flavor of the wine industry in South Africa. A fun time!

Great wine- fun & food! - We had an exceptional day with our guide, Pamela. She was full of interesting & informative dialog that made us feel as if we were chatting with a friend!
She got us to all our destinations in a timely & safe manner . Provided lively , interesting conversation & the recommended lunch spot of Guardian peak was perfect as were all the vineyards on our custom tour. My only negative is more about the wine ordering thru the vineyards- not as well coordinated as they should be. So be sure to ask if the wines you like are ones that are available for shipment to your address.
That has nothing to do with the quality of the wine tour itself but rather the lack of coordination from the vineyards.
Definitely would recommend this tour & wish I could do again!
