Our day with our guide Leon was just fantastic. We were picked up at the hotel on time and already on the way to the first winery Leon told us an incredible amount of exciting things about South Africa – things you won’t find in any guidebook. The first stop was the Spier winery, where we enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting. The property is beautifully located, with a small lake and lots of nature that invites you to walk and linger. Afterwards we continued to the Rust en Vrede winery. There we tasted three excellent red wines and enjoyed an incredibly tender fillet with Pepper Crust – a real culinary highlight. Finally we visited Delaire Graff. Here we were impressively shown why this winery is known not only for its excellent red wines, but also worldwide for its diamonds. Afterwards we went back to the hotel. We thank Leon from the bottom of our hearts for this breathtaking day. If we had already known how great this tour is when planning our trip, we would definitely have booked more tours with Leon!
