Customer Reviews

We did the Vine hopper last year (North en Sourh) and came back this year (East) as we found it awesome to discover the wine-estates! This year we were, by accident, very lucky to have the same tourguide as last year, Charlton! Awesome guide, super friendly, you can ask recommandations if there is a wine-estate that you maybe don't really like or already visited... just an awesome experience, We would recommand this to everybody who's visiting Stellenbosch and surroundings! - Steyaert
