What Our Clients Say
-
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.
August 10, 2022A 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!

February 7, 2023This is the absolute best company to book an all day wine tour with! We had the best day with our guide and group touring 4 wineries around the Stellenbosch... read more area including a delicious lunch! All of the places were amazing, we especially liked that they were smaller unique boutique wineries!
