Fabulous historical stories that we all found exceptional.
Good snacks on our walk plus bubbly & fantastic wine tasting, finishing with a great lunch.
Would definitely do this again.

Walking with Matt in Constantia - We chose a beautiful sunny day for our wine walk with Matt. We were four girl friends and Matt was very patient with us😄. The day went so fast , we loved the stories Matt told us about the people from the 15th century until now , how Constantia was known all over the world through a delicious sweet wine , and the different characters whom made Constantia what it is now. Thank you Matt , our group went home extremely happy ( we did not abuse of the wine though) it was just a all around great experience I highly recommend

Constantia Wine Walk with Matt - Lovely and informative day in the vineyards with Matt who is a great story-teller. Having lived in the valley for 30 years it was very interesting to learn not only a lot of the history in the area but South African history too. The walk is spectacular, passing through vineyards and farms one would not normally be allowed to. Then the wine tasting at 3 of the top Constantia farms, great snacks, and ending up with a fabulous lunch platter. I would highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend - what a lovely way to spend a day! - What a lovely way to spend a day! My dear friend and I spent the morning with Matt on his fabulous wine walk. Matt's knowledge of the area and its rich history was brought to life in a relaxed and enjoyable way. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would strongly recommend it, the wine tastings along the way and lunch were delicious.

Sweet, luscious and excellent - This day was such a surprise and we loved every second of it. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I think I learnt more about SA history in four hours with Matt than in 6 years of school. Matt is a funny, informed, relaxed host; the landscape is beautiful, the wine delicious; and an ideal way to celebrate a birthday.
Whether you are new to Cape Town or have lived here for years this is a wonderful way to celebrate the Cape and beauty of the wine farms - not forgetting the wine tasting along the way.

Awesome Experience!! - This was an awesome experience. The walk was so beautiful and not too strenuous. Matt is a great tour guide and is so knowledgeable about the region and its history. I learnt so much and I would definitely recommend to a friend.
The only thing I suggest is to eat beforehand as the lunch is more of a cheese board and not a proper lunch. Other than that it was a terrific experience.
