We had a great full day trip to 3 wineries in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek with Johnny. Along the drive he pointed out places of interest and told us a little about them. We stopped first in the town of Stellenbosch where we had some free time to walk around and explore, then went to our first winery which was the beautiful Delaire -graff estate.
The wine tastings are not included in the price of the tour which left us free to choose the type of tasting we wanted to do. 2nd winery was Boschendal, also lovely, where we chose the wine and chocolate pairing. The next stop was supposed to be lunch but since we’d spent a little more time than planned at the wineries and had eaten there we opted to continue on to our third stop, this time in Franschhoek. Eikehof winery was very charming with spectacular mountain views and the owner even came to talk to us about his farm. On the way back we stopped at Drakenstein prison where there’s a statue of Nelson Mandela honoring him and the time he spent there. It was a really nice tour and Johnny made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend!
