“We were gifted with a guide who has a background in viticulture and a wealth of knowledge on wines, wineries, and of course South Africa. The tour was full of beautiful vistas, settings and tastings that surpasses the USA. This customised wine tour based on our needs (IPW certified) and the wine tasting was spot on!”

Four facts about Wijntoer

  • Two

    He remembers his first wine farm visit, to Fairview in 1996 at 12 years old, together with his dad. “My first memories is the dirt road to get there, the raw beauty and the agricultural cultivation. Farming intrigues me as it entails growing something from almost nothing, just soil and water.”
