Fantastic tour with an awesome guide! 🍷

An excellent tour hosted by Jim doing tasting at 4 premium Wineries and lunch at another. Jim is very knowledgeable and had great connections at all the wineries which allowed a great conversation. Even when I had pretty basic questions. Great wine and I learnt a lot - awesome host and experience. Highly recommended !

Very pleasant tour with a knowledgeable guide

Very pleasant tour with a knowledgeable guide . We had a delightful day out with Jimmy. Very convenient just to be the two of us, so we can enjoy the wineries in our own pace. Lunch was delicious at a wine yard (at your own expense).

Excellent tour

We highly recommend this private tour with Jimmy, we had a wonderful experience. Jimmy used his local knowledge to take us to some diverse wineries. Jimmy was informative, fun and down to earth - making us both feel like old friends. Would definitely book again if we ever returned.

Jimmy was amazing!! Very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the company and the tour. Great local wineries that were all very friendly and accommodating to our preferences. He also stopped at Makana so we could get some of the world famous chocolates. We highly recommend this tour.
