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!
October 19, 2022We decided to opted-in for the Half Day Wine Tour Stellenbosch as a part of our Honeymoon in South Africa! Overall it was a good experience. We visited four vineyards... read more and, of course, drank a lot of wine! Glad we did half a day. I don't think we would have made a full day due to the heat and all the wine! LOL

December 29, 2022It was amazing. I got picked up on time and we went to do so some sightseeing because we were a little early for the tasting. Throughout the day we... read more got to taste 25 wines with some matching cheeses and chocolate. The locations were gorgeous and the group was a lot of fun. My tour guide Lizna was a lot of fun and she had some good recommendations for other activities, got the number of another cool tour guide to do a township tour with. 10/10 recommend it and I will do it again when I'm back 🙂

December 28, 2022Excellent - Fantastic wine tour! Could not recommend more. Etian, our guide for the day, was excellent and super knowledgeable who made the day. The wineries we went to had amazing wines... read more and stunning settings.
February 7, 2023A 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!
