the Winemaker Tours

Experience the Best of South Africa's Wine Country

Iona Wine Farm in Elgin, South Africa

The best way to experience the romance of South Africa's Winelands is to immerse yourself in the culture of winemaking. With an insider's experience in the cellar, on the vineyard, and at the table with the winemakers. 

"After years in the wine industry, I created this wine tour because it’s the one I would want to go on. A  hand-selected group of wine lovers travels to Cape Town to enjoy the beauty of the South African countryside, good food, and wine in luxurious surroundings. A bespoke travel and wine experience that explores areas of the wine world unexplored by most tourists.

Our tours give access to the folks behind the juice, those who passionately work the land, and understand the terroir. At a certain point, if you’ve been to one tasting room, you’ve been to a hundred. But sitting down with the winemakers and asking them why they love the grapes they grow on the land and soil that surrounds them gives guests a deep understanding of these unique wines that are exclusively found here. Our tours offer a one-of-a-kind experience that can’t be found anywhere else." - host, Tania Van Pelt
