Fabulous, knowledgeable tour

Great wine tour! My husband has been in the wine industry for years and our guide Louis was very knowledgeable. It was refreshing to have someone who knows and is willing to share so much local information on a detailed level about wine making. Louis picked wineries and made appointments based on our requests and nailed it! Lunch couldn’t have been better. I highly recommend this private tour.

Dear Linda Thank you for much for your beautiful review. Louis really enjoyed his day out with you. If I recall correctly your lunch booking was at Stellenbosch reserve. Glad to hear you enjoyed the day out. Antoinette

Lovely day in the vineyards

We had a great tour around three Stellenbosch vineyards with Martin Stevens and a first rate lunch as well. It was great to see more of the area, surrounded by mountains and bucolic fields. Camino made everything easy, picking us up from our b&b and were very friendly throughout. Highly recommended.

Das Weinerlebnis dieser Reise

Unsere Wine-Tasting-Tour mit Martin war ein wirkliches Highlight unseres diesmaligen SA-Trips und eine Bereicherung unseres (doch eher) zaghaften Kenntnisse über Wein, Herstellung, Geschmack, Beurteilung, etc.. Die deutsche Kommunikation hat dazu sehr viel beigetragen und Martin ist ein wirklich netter Mensch mit einer total sympathischen Ausstrahlung. Seine Weinkenntnisse haben uns beeindruckt. Wir können uns hier keinen besseren Guide vorstellen. Auf jeden Fall kommen wir wieder hierher.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Silke & Oliver. I loved meeting you the day before to discuss and plan the tour at your guest house and so glad that you were happy with Martin and that we could offer you a German guide. All the best & we hope more tourists will come to SA soon. Kind Regards Antoinette

Stunning Stellenbosch!

Great day out visiting amazing wine farms in beautiful Stellenbosch! Louis, our guide, is a qualified winemaker and he shared a lot of interesting insights to the ins and outs of the industry. Highly recommended outing!

Dear Robert Thank you for booking a private Winemakers Way tour with Camino as locals. We really appreciate this as there is not lots of tours during covid time and we miss our international tourists. Louis really enjoyed his day out with you and so did I planning and booking your tour. Glad that you enjoyed the small boutique wine estates of Kleinood the most and ordered some wine! All the best and hope to have you back on tour one day - perhaps another wine region for next time like Elgin / Walker Bay. Regards Antoinette

Two day Winemakers way wine tour.

Antoinette did a great job planning a private winemakers tour for me and my wife this September. She made a special effort to get us booked in some of the top wineries like De Toren, Richard Kershaw, De Morgenzon, Delaire Graff etc..... considering our visit was over the long Heritage Holiday weekend some of the Boutique wineries were closed she made special arrangements with the wineries to have someone available for tour and tasting. In addition to the wine tour she also made special hotel ...read more

Dear Roland. Thank you for much for this in dept lovely review. It was a pleasure planing your 2 days of touring around Stellenbosch and Elgin wine regions. So glad you enjoyed Louis with his dry sense of humor and the wine knowledge of course :o) I am really sorry that I could not get to meet you in the end. Thank you again for booking and trusting us with your holiday plans from tours to restaurant bookings. Kind Regards, Antoinette
