Donovan was an amazing guide. He is really knowledgeable, funny and communicative. The vineyards are quite different and provide a good introduction into aouth african wines. The Eikehof vineyard was my personal favorite because of the personal touch

It takes you through different characteristic wine areas of Cape Town. The attention is super good, both from the gentleman of the tour and from the gentlemen of the vineyards. It is a relax tour of fairs. But if you are looking for a tour to learn about wines, this is not the tour.

Denis was a superb host! He was great at engaging with the tour group with both historical information regarding Cape Town wine lands but also with general humor. Each of the wine estates had their own personality and great wine and scenic views. A memorable experience for sure and one that I will always remember.
