Full-Day Wine Tour from Stellenbosch

Danelle picked us up early (10 am) at Sunday morning and treated us to a full day of excellent wine and food. She really knows the area, its viticulture and the various estates and their distinctive character. On top of having selected some excellent wines for us to taste together with good food, she also walked us through the tastings with great knowledge as well as lot of funny and informative anecdotes. Spending a day tasing wine and food with Danelle was like hanging out with friend you haven’t seen for a long time and who knows everything there is about the local wine, so all in all an excellent day. Extra points for suggesting, and helping getting a reservation, at a really nice restaurant in Stellenbosch. Would give 6 stars if possible.

A terrific tour with Aylmer - who was very personable and knowledgeable. I know a decent amount about wine and he taught me a trick or two and pitched the tour perfectly. He also got the wineries to open a couple of bottles they wouldn’t normally have for general tasting, which was a nice touch.

My husband, a girlfriend of ours and I travelled to South Africa for a 2 week visit (I am originally from South Africa) and we went on a full day private tour from Stellenbosch. It was a fantastic tour and we all enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide was Aylmer and he was excellent! He is so personable, made us a laugh a lot, and provided so much info about the area. He is also very knowledgeable about wine. We felt like the tour was so personalized, nothing was rushed and and each winery we stopped at, he seemed to add a personal touch, even extending the wine tasting experience beyond just hearing the info from the wine farm staff about the wines.
