Taste the Evolution of South African Wine — From the Inside

Join me for a one-of-a-kind journey through three of South Africa’s most dynamic wine regions — Stellenbosch, Swartland, and Walker Bay — on an intimate tour built from real relationships formed during my two-month harvest stay in 2025.

This isn’t your average wine trip. It’s a behind-the-scenes experience that brings you face to face with the winemakers, farmers, and creatives shaping the future of South African wine. You’ll get the chance to taste rare cuvées, dine with producers, walk through vineyards at harvest, and discover the bold character of the Western Cape through its food, people, and landscapes.

Why This Tour Is Different

This tour is built on personal connection. During my time working harvest in South Africa, I met the true movers and shakers of the wine world here — passionate individuals (some local, some transplants) who are reshaping the identity of this beautiful and complex country. They’ve opened their cellars and homes to us, and we’ll explore their world from the inside, as guests and friends — not tourists.

Optional Add-On: Self-Drive Safari & Beach Escape

After the wine tour, continue the adventure at your own pace. We’ll provide a self-drive itinerary for a luxurious safari experience paired with stops along South Africa’s stunning southern coastline — perfect for relaxation, wildlife spotting, and barefoot beach dinners.
