Hamilton was an excellent guide and host. He is knowledgeable in both South African history and the vineyards. We loved the wine at each stop with food pairings. Cheese at one, springbok, kudu, and beef at the other. It was a lovely afternoon in the beautiful countryside outside of Cape Town. Enjoyed the tour of Stellenbosch. Request Hamilton if you can.

Perfect amount of time....
Stacy, Apr 2024
Perfect amount of time. Driver (Wellington) was great and vineyards were fabulous. Recommend to anyone that is short on time but wants to see South Africa wineries.
Great experience
Linda_C, Apr 2024
Moses was a great guide. The wineries were as promised. It was a fun tour and very informative about Cape Town.
A good introduction to Stellenbosch wines
Tracy_B, Apr 2024

Half day wine tour
Crystal_M, Apr 2024
We booked last minute and just wanted a half day compared to full day. Our driver was so sweet. The two wineries were beautiful.

First winery did not have any outdoor seating and the gift shop was very small. The tasting was very good and the staff was wonderful. The second winery the staff, location and view were wonderful. However the wines had more French flavors than South African which is what we were expecting.
A most enjoyable afternoon!
Susan_M, Mar 2024
Beautiful scenery around the winelands. Great tastings paired with lovely cheeses and biltong within nice aesthetics. A lot of fun!
Wonderful Sampling of Stellenbosch
Sharon_M, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful day with Lou touring the Stellenbosch region. We visited two wineries, each unique in their presentation of wines and pairings. We had a short tour of the quaint town of Stellenbosch. Lou was knowledgeable and kind. Our group of four would highly recommend.
Viator pick up scheduled 07:30 , supplier’s schedule was 08:50
Ravin_U, Mar 2024
Viator pick up time was for 07:30 while the service supplier’s time was scheduled for 08:50, we could have slept another hour and have a breakfast before this excursion.
Eddie made the tour like no other!
Ainsleigh_H, Mar 2024
I had the pleasure of experiencing a tour guided by Eddie around Stellenbosch, and I must say, it was unlike any other. We paid extra for a private tour of a group of five adults. We were collected on time in a stylish, spacious and comfortable car. We visited two winery’s, Zevenwacht then Marianne. In Zevenwacht we viewed the wine cellar then had a tasting of four wines (2 red & 2 wine) paired with cheese and crackers. In Marianne, we viewed the vineyards then sampled five wines (1 rose, 2 red and 2 white) paired with biltong. Zevenwacht is dated in comparison to Marianne however the wine and snacks were more to our taste pallet. Our tour guide Eddie's approach stands out as he allows guests to explore at their own pace, fostering a sense of freedom and autonomy rarely found in guided tours. His captivating tone of voice effortlessly held our attention without being overbearing, making the journey both informative and a memorable experience. Eddie's unique style truly elevated the experience, leaving me with fond memories and a desire to explore more under his guidance.

Our guide was absolutely superb; cannot fault him at all. Two excellent vineyards with delicious wines and pairings in the most beautiful environments. Could not fault any aspect of the trip and made new friends. Excellent, all in all, without a doubt.

What a FUN experience visiting the lovely vineyards with a small group. Lots of good conversation, sipping wine, and laughter. The countryside was so beautiful!
Fun with a bit of spirit and history attached
Javette_N, Nov 2023
I enjoyed the tour. Particularly enjoyed Marianne Wine Estate which was beautiful and had wines that I found interesting, in some parts complex and drinkable. Our tour guide was also very knowledgeable about South African history and the historical and demographic development of the area which added to the overall expenses.
Great afternoon
Fiona_R, Sep 2023
We had a great time on our recent wine tasting tour. Our guide Adolf was brilliant, very informative and great fun.
Salut! Cheers! L’chaim! To history and wine!
Akanksha_G, Sep 2023
It was a wonderful tour with an amazing well learned tour guide. Wuhyo (pardon my spelling) made the trip educational and joyful from the get go followed by two wine estate visits. For someone who doesn’t not know wine like wine enthusiasts and wine lovers, there was Alot of learning and fun that happened . American Eagle did not falter in communication or prep of the tour. Kudos to the team on keeping such tours open for the visitors. Stellenbosch was a pleasure and the historic background made my day!
Great afternoon!
Carol_F, Jul 2023
Dylan was a safe driver and personable as he pointed out sights during the tour, including grazing elands and zebras. He was punctual and also flexible in picking me up at a location other than my hotel, so my morning was free to explore other activities. The wines were paired with cheeses at both vineyards, and the pours were plentiful. A half day wine tasting provided time to explore other activities in the morning.
Very nice

The guide Jan was very kind and flexible. I only did the half day tour but in hindsight would have preferred to do the full day.
