Fantastic and insightful wine tour. Sharif took great care of us and gave us a deeper understanding about the wine making process. We paired our wines with chocolate and cheese and it was truly a great experience. The people that hosted us at the various wine farms were friendly and knowledgeable. This is a must do if you're in cape town.
We had an absolutely amazing wine experience with Wine Flies! Our tour guide (Markus) was also very delightful and he really went the extra mile to make our tour as memorable as possible. I would highly recommend their tours for a a truly unforgettable experience
We had an absolutely awesome day in the Stellenbosch and Franschoek winelands, driven and guided by Sharif who kept things light and fun all day, but was very informative. Clearly passionate about wine and experienced at tour guiding.
Highly recommended.
I was lucky enough to join some friends on the Forgotten Route Tour to the Karoo. Marcus had the best roadtrip playlist and stories of all the places we visited. He knew where to find the best of everything as well as made us feel like Lords and Ladies throughout our trip. It was a lovely way to meet people and to explore a little bit of our country and of course the gem that is Maatjiesfontein.
This is a must do tour - dress up and let your hair down. Go with the flow and you will have a magical time. I highly recommend the @winefliestours
