Review of Afrivista’s Stellenbosch wine tour, with four estates, tastings, cellar visits, lunch, cheese pairing, pickup, and practical tips.
“Jakob was a great host/driver for this trip. After being picked up (on time) we were a small group. Jakob gave us some history of Stellenbosch whilst we got onto our first winery of 5 in the day. Each winery had a different character and it was interesting tasting (at least 4 tastings at each venue) what they had produced with a narrative from each one. Personally the best was saved for last (I will let that remain a surprise!). The inclusive lunch was also very nice and let me sample a traditional South African dish of Bobotie. This is a BIG recommend for this excursion.”
