An amazing day with our exceptional guide Niel from Afrivista Tours-Viator who was well versed in the Stellenbosch wine region. He has a great background, after growing up in Stellenbosch, bringing tons of experience to the tour and provided many insights on the wine growing history of the region. Being so knowledgeable he was also able to provide our group details on each of the (4) wineries we visited. We had an outstanding lunch at a (5th) winery where we had an opportunity to talk about Stellenbosch, Paarl & Franschoek and the top wines being produced. Pinotage is a wine we had never been exposed to in the U.S., so it was great hearing from Niel on how it has developed and grown in popularity. You must try some, especially at Kanonkop Winery who we rated #1. I highly recommend Afrivista Tours to take you on a day long winery tour of the region in their very comfortable air conditioned mini-vans.
