FAMILY FRIENDLY TOURS Somerset West & Stellenbosch

  Great Daytrip - Such a great day away !!! I love the fact that Wine Flies travels to wine estates off the beaten tourist track. Its been a super fun and interesting day... read more away with a VERY knowledgable guide. Would do every weekend, if I could <3

  A great tour - and help when we needed it. - Mark was our guide through Stellenbosch and he made it a fantastic tour. We hit a lot of rain - he rearranged our itinerary so we’d stay fairly dry... read more and were able to have lunch at a reasonable time. He helped me replace a cable that I’d accidentally left behind in North America and needed a South African debit card to purchase. He kept us entertained when our bus failed to proceed for an hour in Cape Town.

And when he wasn’t handling problems, he was a great guide and host, telling us about the areas and wineries we visited and making suggestions so we could get the most from our time.

I really enjoyed the time we spent with Mark - I’d happily take another Wine Flies tour!

  Another phenomenal tour with Lord Sharif - This was my third experience with Lord Sharif, who never fails to deliver a thorough, personalized experience. We hit some favorites and some new places, he scored us a private... read more tour, and the lunch was delicious. Every time I tour with him, we have a new group who is always shown a great time. Ever grateful for his guidance in making the Wine Flies tour always a great experience.

  Great Tour and Guide - My wife and I and another couple we were traveling with chose Wine Flies for our tour. We did an all day private tour and were lucky enough to have... read more Lourence as our guide. He was very charismatic and gave us a lot of history of South Africa and Cape Town that we did not know. He truly seemed to love his country and his job as a guide. The 4 wineries we went to, Perdeberg, Mitre's Edge, Topiary and Love were excellent. We did a lovely wine and cheese pairing in the wine cellar at Mitre's Edge which was very good. We loved their wines and shipped a few cases home! At Topiary we had a spectacular meal prepared by the Chef/Sommelier, Nash. All of the wine estates were off very high quality and the people there were informative and friendly. Our tour exceeded our expectations and Lourence is a guide I would recommend.

  Fabulous and unique! - Thank you so much for a fabulous tour!

Etian our guide was knowledgeable and a perfect host. We got local knowledge and additional insights into the wines we... read more were tasting.

We will be back and will definitely book again!

  what a great tour - We had a wonderful time. The intimate wine farms were very special and the pairings were delicious.
Lunch being included adds great value!

  Amazing day! Did 5 wine stops including lunch sampling over 20 wines!
Mark Shelton was fabulous, so much knowledge, professional and great company all day.
Would thoroughly recommend.

  Great day out - A really great day out In Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. We went to four different vineyards as well as a half hour stop off in the town. Great value for money... read more - a lot of wine and a really delicious lunch. Our tour guide Dee made the day - so knowledgeable and lovely.

  Fantastic day in the wine region - On our first ever trip to SA, we couldn't decide on a stay in the wine region or take a day trip from our base in Cape Town. We opted... read more for the latter and what a brilliant day it was. I want to say that our driver/guide/comedian was Labushagne but a million apologies if I have this wrong!

There was a slight mix-up with the pickup but very quickly resolved and off we went to explore 4 different vineyards. The first was sparkling/white wine with some biltong and a walk round the vineyard and explanations of the processes involved. Then off to a wine/cheese pairing in a gorgeous house in a beautiful spot, then for lunch (braii) with wine and finally (my favourite) to a small boutique vineyard for chocolate and red/dessert wine pairing. The owner here took time to show us round the cellar and give an insight into his philosophy on making fantastic wine.

Everyone we met was incredibly friendly and we felt really looked after. Naturally the wines were all brilliant and the day was made by Labuschagne (?) with his knowledge, commentary and overall lovely personality.

We were dropped off at the V&A Waterfront for a relaxed walk back to the hotel after a great day.

I would clearly recommend this to anyone.
