A wine tasting tour is not only about wine tasting. It is also about the beautiful wineries in the amazing landscapes of the Western Cape province. It is also about the ambience, the dramatic mountains, the hospitality of South Africans.
It is also about learning how to pair wine with cheese, biltong (beef jerky), olives and delicatessen. Its also about the history of the French Hugenouts-those who brought the culture of wine production since 1671.

The amazing towns of Stellenbosch with its lined Oak trees along the streets. Art and craft. The bustling town with an international student population. Franschoek, ‘food and wine capital’ of South Africa. Paarl one of the oldest towns in South Africa and home to one of the two largest rock outcrop in the World.

Private tour to wine farms - My partner and I travelled from Namibia to CPT and the first thing we did was a private wine tour. The level of excellence in service we received is truly something we don’t take lightly. The guide was attentive to details like correct pronunciation of our names, arriving on time, briefing ua adequately before the trip on the history of the wine farms we would be visiting and so on. Each farm had a unique experience and hidden gems to which he exposed us to. He is polite in his demeanor, interested but not invasive and our comfort and safety was priority for our guide. We had so much fun and it’s the one activity we spent the largest on and we can safely say it was the pinnacle of our trip. We highly recommend.

Amazing time at Cape wineries - The interactive part of tasting the different wines and sharing the company of other travelers was an amazing experience. We had never tasted so many different wines and different cheeses before; but we had an awesome time at the Cape wineries; especially at Fairview wine estate; as the staff there was very welcoming not to mention that the wines and the cheese were perfectly paired together. The people at Raw tours were very helpful as well as accommodating in the sense that they did not treat us like tourists but like friends. I strongly recommend this tour to the wineries because it's a tour worth taking. We will definitely be coming back next year...

Amazing Cheeses and Delicatessen in Paarl - The day seemed short as we enjoyed wine and cheese tasting in the Cape Wineries. The tour started with a I hour walk in Stellenbosch. The place is amazing with old canals draining water from the town. We then visited Franschook and took a tram to one farm before proceeding to Paarl. Here was the highlight of the tour as we tasted more than a dozen cheeses at Fairview wine estate. The Wineries are not yet busy coz of covid which entitiled us to free tastings at Fairview. Unbelievable that we had wine tasting free haaa agh. This offer was only in November. Thanks to Blessing he was such a humble and free spirited guide.

Visit to Paarl Rockand Exquisite Wines - It was an exciting time visiting the wineries this time of the year. The cheese and chocolate combination with the South Africa wines were from another planet. The choice of the wineries was so excellent thanks to Remmy. He is also very elaborate and his planning was so detailed. The highlight was a visit to the Paarl rock. One of the biggest in the world. This is a highly recommended tour. Looking forward to a repeat tour during new year.
