We had a superb day with our guide Fanny as she showed us the wine highlights of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek regions. It was a great experience with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who we were delighted to spend the day with visiting 4 excellent wineries and sharing a wonderful lunch together. I Can’t recommend this tour and guide highly enough. Thanks Fanny for making our day so special. Sue.

My wife and I had a wonderful time with our personal wine tour. It started out great with some historical facts about the original wine makers , the pioneers and their discovery of the rich soil in Stellenbosch. Steven explained everything quite well. We enjoyed each winery we visited. Our favorite was Warwick. I would highly recommend a tour with Steven.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Steven Andrews was our guide and was wonderful! He brought the history of the region to life. Our wine tastings were top notch. He even got us in on a beer and chocolate tasting as well! Such a great day. Steven totally focused on us and whatever we wanted or needed and he achieved that goal. Ask for Steven!
