Amazing must do trip for first time visitors

Janet_G, Mar 2023

Amazing tour to two very different vineyards for wine tasting. Guide Shane was great, knowledgable about the area and kept us informed of the areas we were visiting every step of the way. Fantastic introduction to the winelands surrounding Cape Town.

Great experience! A real must!

Jack_M, Mar 2023

Marco our tour guide had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of Cape Town and most importantly wine and grapes. The two vineyards were very picturesque, with great photo opportunities on the Terrance at Mariannes’ vineyard. Tastings with cheese at fairview and tastings with Biltong at Marianne. There was just 2 of us on this tour and Marco made sure it was a very personal but also left us to it when drinking and taking in the sun and the view. Would recommend to anyone!

Nice 1/2 day tour of 2 wineries

Sherry_B, Mar 2023

Cellar tour and wine and cheese at Fairview. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go to Stellenbosch. Because of traffic we ran out of time

A taste of wine, cheese and meats

Robin_C, Mar 2023

Was a great trip to two wine estates. First one had 6 tastes with cheese to compliment each wine and the second had six with meat. The driver knew a lot about wine but also many other topics and made the 40 minute drive each way pleasant and engaging. Would recommend it strongly.

Good value trip.

Beverley_M, Mar 2023

Well organised, small group. Very good value. Visited two wineries and the staff there were friendly and knowledgeable. Only very minor negative is that we only got 20 minutes to look round Stellenbosch, would have been nice to have longer there.

Great get away from a dreary day in Cape Town

Brian_S, Feb 2023

It was a dreary day in Cape Town so we decided to book this tour and pleased that we did. The guide was friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. We visited two wineries and both were stunning. The staff were friendly, and extremely knowledgeable with lovely cheeses in the Fairview winery that perfectly accompanied the seven wines that we sampled . At the Marianne winery there were lovely traditional dried meats for myself with hummus and dried fruits for my vegetarian wife that accompanied the six wines that we sampled there. Topped off with a leisurely stroll around Stellenbosch. A great day out.

Just an amazing experience!

MaryAnn_P, Feb 2023

Along with tasting some fantastic South African wines, my best memory of my tour is the courtesy, friendliness, and knowledge shown by our tour guide, Mario. I learned so much about the South African wine country and its people. He explained every part of the tour prior to departing which made us very comfortable. We joked around, smiled a lot and just had an amazing time!!!

Incredible half day of wineries!

Sarah_S, Feb 2023

Marco was a great guide - incredibly knowledgeable, great driver and very friendly. Had a great day out at the wineries in stellenbosch and drive around the historic town. Great to get a taster of the wineries in a half day! Highly recommend!

Great wines

Ian_M, Feb 2023

We travelled with bosch travel on the 5th of Feb our driver/guide was very pleasant and also very personable. HE shared his extensive knowledge in an easy to listen to manor.We would highly recommend this tour. 1st class thanks.

Super trip

Nick_S, Feb 2023

Found the guide was extremely informative. The couple with us were pleasant making the day enjoyable The win tasting was performed very well with great pairings

Good half day

Trista_G, Feb 2023

Visited Fairview and Mirabelle estates. The Fairview tasting is wonderful, but they did not have chairs. It was quite a long time of standing and drinking. Mirabelle had a better spread of snacks, and chairs, but less inspiring wines. All the staff were lovely. The pours are not stingy, so if you want to, you can definitely get a good buzz with this tour! Driver Shane was great!

Amazing.

Kamogelo_D, Jan 2023

The tour guide was very accommodating, and made the trip very memorable. The guide was very personal and intimate, which is what we had envisioned.

Excellent

Michelle_T, Jan 2023

We had an amazing time thank you Marcus went out of his way to make it fun and gave us lots of additional information We had I few difficult people on the tour but Marcus dealt with them very well thank you

Better to upgrade to another provider.

Tim_F, Jan 2023

This tour was conducted in an amateurish fashion. The car that was used was older and noisy and only moderately comfortable. The first winery Fairview was a real treat once we arrived. The offering of several wines and cheese pairings was truly a treat. The second winery offered dried wild meats with the tasting and it really wasn’t to our liking.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

We are shocked to read that you were not satisfied with your experience with us as it seemed liked you had so much on tour with the group. When your guide met with you and your wife at the hotel you were not very open to engage in conversation. However, when a group of ladies joined the group you became very happy and friendly as well as open to engage in conversation with the group. You had so much fun that at every opportunity you assisted the ladies in and out of the vehicle. Your guide asked if everyone is open to try some local food paired with wines, which you agreed. The dried wild meats is very traditional and local to South Africans. Therefore, as explained to you the purpose of the tour is to introduce the group to what locals eat as an authentic experience. However, it is understandable if you do not enjoy the food of locals, which is completely fair as you are not used to it. It seemed like you enjoyed yourself so much that at every opportunity when your guide was providing information to the group about the soil, grapes and culture about South African wine you interrupted the guide to showcase your knowledge of wines to the ladies (which is a bit disrespectful towards the guide) or perhaps that was your way of engaging in conversation with the ladies on tour with you. As for the vehicle being not up to your standard, the rest of the group had no complaints. However, we will look into it. Therefore, your review is a shock to us as you were very happy with the group and became very friendly towards your guide. However, I am sure it would not be very appropriate to write a review to how much you enjoyed the day with the group as it could possibly inconvenience things for you. I hope you enjoyed our beautiful city.

Great Wine - Nice Tour

Medjine_L, Dec 2022

Marco was a fantastic guide! He gave us a nice guide of Stellenbosch. We were a small group so he was super flex to go with what the group wanted. 10/10 would recommend. Always gave us a time of arrival estimate since it's a bit of a drive to get to Stellenbosch from Cape Town.

Wine tour

Tim_Y, Dec 2022

Guide was very good. Wine tasting at Fairview more inclusive and educational good wines and great cheeses!

Half Day Wine Tour

JacquelineNovel, Dec 2022

We booked for the half-day wine tour. Hassle-free pickup and drop-off from your Cape Town hotel by our Tour guide Marco. He was delightful and so knowledgeable about Cape Town and the art of winemaking. We visited three vineyards It was a fantastic day of wine and cheese tasting. I would highly recommend this tour.

More attention to detail

Sandie_S, Dec 2022

Enjoyed the wine experience, however as a senior citizen I was disappointed to find no stools to sit on to experience the wine tasting. I had to go and search for one myself. The car was small for 4 adults, which made the journey uncomfortable for the person in the back.

Delicious Wines in Beautiful Surroundings

Lynsey_A, Dec 2022

We had an amazing day with our guide Shane. 2 very generous tastings at 2 beautiful vineyards. Shane was so helpful & we weren’t rushed at all so we could enjoy a leisurely afternoon drinking delicious wines
