Great experience! Loved it!

Venusti - our driver was very nice and helpful! We ended up not needing a tram - as our driver took us anywhere we want. We chose where we want to go and ended goig to 4 amazing places.

Stellenbosch wine tour

This was certainly the most pleasant wine tour I've ever taken. Our guide brought us to the most wonderful wineries, with not only amazing wines, but delicious charcuterie along with unforgettable views, and gorgeous landscapes designed by many years of loving and creative plantings. Not only was our guide friendly and helpful in every way, he is a fine photographer, often suggesting a good shot and taking some great ones of us as well. Thank you Venuste, for a wonderful day!

Great fun and everybody can try the wines

This was a very fun experience and meant that all our party could indulge in the wine tasting as we didn’t need a designated driver. I would advise early booking. We left it until the day before and didn’t have much choice of route or time of starting. We thought that we would do 4 wine farms but found that 3 was enough.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
