Wine Flies does the best tours I would bet on that. Our guide, Etienne was well versed with the history, the wines, the wine makers and the entire region. He was super friendly and made our tour that much more interesting. I would highly recommend this tour. You get to enjoy both the Franschoek and Stellenbosch.

It was a fantastic experience which I will remember and cherish for a long time to come. Mark was amazing. He took us to outstanding wine estates where we learnt a lot and had fun. As Mosa said it was like road tripping with old friends. The hosts of the wine estates were also are very hospital and warm. Also very willing to share their knowledge and experiences.

Great wine interesting chocolates local biltong and tasty cheeses to complement the 20 wines that we sampled. Delicious lunch included. Small group and good value for money.
