My husband and I have been lucky enough to have a private wine tour with Danelle from La Rochelle Tours. She is highly knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about her craft. We came to Franschhoek already with a love of wine and Danelle helped us explore the finer details of wine in an unobtrusive, flexible and relaxed way. An added... More

My husband and I booked a private tour with La Rochelle Wine Tours, giving them only a few days notice. We could not believe our good fortune in receiving Danelle as our wine-tasting tour-guide. She is warm, fun, extremely knowledgeable about both wine and South Africa, witty and very interesting. She kept us entertained and happy throughout and tailored our... More

We had our tour with Aylmer who was very good company and very knowledgeable, not just about wine but South African history and the history of the region. He really took the tour to another level. We visited 4 wineries I think ( memory is a bit foggy towards the end) and my partner and I had a wonderful time... More

We booked a full-day wine tour via email before leaving the UK and were not disappointed. It turned out we were joined by another couple from our accommodation on the day so there were just the 4 of us on the tour. This worked out very well as it was easy for our guide, Almyer, to work out where to... More

D picked us up and immediately asked what our wine preferences were, before picking up another couple at their hotel. She really seemed to know what we would enjoy the most just by asking us a few questions...and she didn't let us down. We visited two wineries and spent quality time at each, enjoying every wine we tasted, with D... More

We were picked up from our accommodation to find that our group tour was just us. As it was early (9:30am) we were thankfully given a mini-tour around Franschhoek including an introduction to wines in the region. I was a little worried at my lack of wine knowledge (and not being able to hide away in a group), but Danelle... More
