I'll start from the beginning. We got picked up right on time from our guest house. Went into town to collect another 2 couples and then a guy on his own. We was taken to the first stop. Lanzerac. We chose to seat as a group which worked well. We had the normal testing rather than chocolate and wine as only 10am. We found the service a little slow here. To the point we had to chase a couple of times as we was concerned we would miss our pick up. Neil Ellis was next. Super tasting here. Well guided and really interesting information about the family name. Onto Le Pommier which actually was our favourite. We had lunch here which was so delicious as well as affordable. Lovely setting. The wines here had little labels on which was nice. Very small and personal here. We bought their wines too. Next stop was Boschendal. This was huge compared to the other places we had been and not so personal. However this was all sparkling which was gorgeous. Lots of nice shade too which helped with the heat. Last one was Zorgvliet. We actually didn't think we would have time for this one but our lovely driver squeezed it in for us. We loved this place. Very colonial. A wedding was happening too so a great atmosphere. To sum up. It was an amazing day. The tour itself was extremely well planned. Very reasonable and the drivers were fantastic. The wine tasting was so cheap for us brits. But so enjoyable. Lovely wines. I would thoroughly recommend this company to all. From booking the tour to taking the tour. Excellent and thank you. - Denise Tracy Lee
The overall experience was very enjoyable. It was well organized and a great way to go to a variety of wineries. However it was not a matter of hopping on and off,more a challenge to clamber in and out,especially after tasting wine.The simple provision of a step would have been appreciated .
