Start the morning off with a guided drive through historic Stellenbosch and onto our first farm for a cellar tour and wine & chocolate pairing. Our 2nd farm is a boutique wine estate for intimate cheese & wine pairing with the wine maker when she is around. Over the stunning Stellenbosch mountains, we head to the cuisine capital of SA, Franschhoek. Here we learn how the French Huguenots settled in this valley and influenced South Africa’s wine history. This, only to be followed by a tasting at an award-winning estate and a beautiful lunch. In Franschhoek you will have the chance to walk off your lunch, strolling down the main road. For our last stop we visit a farm situated on the foot of the mountains for yet another world class wine tasting. Filled up and merry, we head back to Cape Town to be back at home at about 5 PM.

Third Time with Wine Flies from UK - Having just returned to the UK from my third wine flies visit, they are simply my favourite thing to do in South Africa. This time our wine Lord Jann (hope... read more I have spelt that correctly lol) - he was superb, knowledgeable and a total gent throughout the whole day. It was really nice to revisit 3 of the 4 estates that I have been to before and the whole day was just great fun with great company, highly recommended as ever.
This was the first time I have done the Franschoek and Stellenbosch Tour as opposed to just Stellenbosch and it was a really nice change.
It was a really nice touch from Wine Flies to also present me with a complimentary bottle of wine for my third trip with them and really appreciated. I will be back for the next England cricket tour to SA 🙂

Cheese, meats, bbq (braai) and chocolates were indulged in alongside an eclectic mix of wines. Would certainly recommend to anyone wanting a fun, intimate and fuss-free day, where you get to know all of your travel companions well.

4 Wineries. Good Fun! - The four wineries that we visited: Villiera, Mitre's Edge, Rickety Bridge, and Lovane were all very different from each other and all good wines.
At Villiera, their pinotage was... read more new to me, a grape I've never had. It was really good; probably my favorite of all the wines in all the wineries we visited on this tour. Their wines were served with meats.
At Mitre's Edge, the clear winner was the Huguenot cheese. The wines were paired with an excellent selection of cheeses.
We had lunch at Rickety Bridge. Their burger was excellent! Their wines were good too.
The star of Lovane was the port style. Not normally a fan, this was excellent!

Wine Flies is thumbs up! - Wine Flies is the way to do wine tasting in Stellenbosch. The 4 wineries that were on our itinerary were all great stops for various reasons. Tasty wines,... read more beautiful views, smart winemakers, and excellent pairings of cheeses and chocolates. The guide that day Corbis ( sp?) was beyond fantastic. His knowledge of the grapes grown and the wines made in the area along with a sharp sense of humor made our day very enjoyable. He had his hands full with the group of SA women on our tour and handled himself very well !! Jokes aside, the group of ladies were fun-loving and ready to imbibe!! All went well for the entire day. Strongly recommend Wine Flies wine tour in the Stellenbosch region. If you get lucky enough to have Cobis (sp?) as your guide/driver/teacher then you have hit the wine tasting jackpot.

An experience worth every penny! - The day started off quietly, with us being the last couple jumping on the twenty-five seater cozy bus. Scanning our bus, it hit me that it was full of strangers... read more from different parts of the world, I decided to quietly cuddle up with my husband, with absolutely no idea what the day had in store for us.
Alas was I in for a pleasant surprise. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable making listening to his narrative very interesting. In fact, he mentioned to us on the way to the first vineyard that by the time we were returning, the bus would be warm and chatty. Turns out, he was right again!
From the friendly staff, to amazing food, to awesome ambiance, not to mention the lovely wine selection for our toured vineyards, we were returning to our hotel with strangers turned buddies as we goofed around all the way back. It was indeed an outing worth every penny!!!
