HUGH_B, May 2024
Our guide , Ambrose, was exceptionally knowledgeable and very personable, he made the tour a great experience. The wineries visited were great.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thanks for you fabulous review. Glad you enjoyed the day in the Cape Winelands.
Ok but could be better.
Jen_S, May 2024
Most of the day was lovely, however, although the grounds in the first winery were amazing the ones themselves were not appealing at all, with the general consensus from the guests was the least favourite of the wineries. The cheeses were tasty, hostess nice though not enthusiastic in her presentation. After discussion with other passengers agreeing the wines were not tasty or appealing. The wines in the second and third wineries were really nice and certainly enjoyed by everyone. The hostess in the 3rd winery La Bri was a real people person and had everyone entertained. Franschoek township was lovely and we enjoyed walking around, though by the end of the day it was late and we ran out of steam to walk around Stellenbosch. Our guide was nice though though not a conversationalist. One of our group explained they didn’t drink and he said something could be arranged, though we had to ask at each of the wineries, thought he could have organised. We really think different winery for the first one other than Fairview would enhance the experience of this tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for your detailed review. It does sound like you enjoyed the day overall. Everyone usually raves about Fairview. Perhaps their wine was just not your cup of tea.
Go for it, without a doubt!!
Elisa_F, Apr 2024
Basil the driver-guide kept us safe, informed and entertained. I had the luck to share this tasty tour with a group of South African women and other lovely travelers, which made it even more memorable. The landscape is sweet, wine is high quality, the paring with cheese and chocolate on point. Got back to the hostel happy!!!
Response from Host, May 2024
Simply amazing. Thanks Elisa.
Great time!

Gerald_C, Apr 2024
This was the best wine tasting tour I have been on. The driver of our vehicle was well versed on wine production and looked after us extremely well. The wine tasing was fantastic with the goats cheese at the Fairview E;state and the chocolate tasing with the wine at Al Bri where they provided an excellent lunch. It was an extremely enjoyable experience and I"d highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

The BEST trip with our host Anjelo! The views were stunning throughout, and we enjoyed so much delicious wines of all sorts (bush fire, windy stem) - truly amazing! We stopped at a couple of cute views and were able to take photos and Anjelo was ready to take some of couples which was so sweet! The lunch was so good! I think I had a tear when I tasted it haha! Worth every single penny!

The entire wine tour was memorable. Our group on the tour all 'clicked'. We had a great time just enjoying the choice of wineries, the ambiance of the wine region and the delicious lunch served. Our driver was completely knowledgeable of the Vineland and shared a lot of history of the region. Thank You for a fun day!
