We had a fabulous day with our guide Radheeka. She took us to a nice variety of large and small estates. All with great wines. Our lunch at Tokara was pretty special.

John (director and founder) was a truly amazing wine guide. We have been on many wine tours and this was the best. He was flexible with creating the list of wineries we would visit and incredibly knowledgeable not only regarding wine and the Stellenbosch region but also the history of South Africa. I don’t think he was unable to answer a single question we threw at him, and we had many! Plus he was incredibly easy to get along with, a joy to spend the day with. Every winery chosen had delicious wines and the process was seamless, including lunch at Delaire Graff. We can’t thank John and Wine Escapes enough! Many thanks from two Aussies.

Highly recommend Wine Escapes for private wine tours! We had a wonderful day with John during our honeymoon -couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Informative, friendly, funny and willing to customize the day based on places we wanted to visit. John mentioned the company will also be doing tours in locations aside from Cape Winelands, Hope to return to SA again for another, thank you wine escapes!

We called a few tour guides in advance - and we chose John, because we felt that he was somehow more into wine. What a good decision: On our tour we found out, that John was working as a sommelier before. So he is a real wine expert. That was worth so much! He knows all the wine farms. He knows who makes what und why. He can explain all different types. And the most exciting thing: After a few glasses, he knows what you like. That helps so much - because you have many options on one day in Stellenbosch! And what you need to know as well: John is a really nice guy! It is so nice and easy to have him around. We had a lovely und very pleasureful day with him. His car is spacious und very comfortable. In the end we are sure: We can't imagine a better tour guide than him for Stellenbosch. That was the perfect choice for us! THANKS A LOT!
