I am so glad we booked with Wine Escapes. We didn't know until the day before whether we'd be a group of 6 or 2 and John was totally flexible. It turned out we were 2 - my girlfriend and I had the best of days with John giving us a tailored tour. Really good information, but not pretentious, just... More

This was by far the best tour I took while in Cape Town. I was greated with a warm hello and a gift basket. The gift was full of snacks, a engraved wine glass, pen and paper to take notes throughout my day. I must say the gift really set a tone for the whole day. As the tour started... More

On our trip to the Cape in March, my husband and I had one full day to explore the wine region so I asked our hotel for recommendations of guides to plan our trip and maximize our time. Luckily, they connected us to John and Wine Escapes - he is the best! John emailed to discuss preferences in advance, and... More

We chose John Grant and Wine Escapes in part due to their fine Trip Advisor reviews, and we were certainly not disappointed. We enjoyed a great full day tour of Stellenbosch and Franschoek that was tailored to our interests. It was first rate and quite memorable.

My husband, daughter and I recently had the pleasure of going on the Wine Escapes Vineyard Tour. Our guide, John, not only picked us up at our hotel, but also dropped us at our next hotel destination at the end of our tour. John made us feel very comfortable and geared the tour to our tastes. We never dreamed we... More

My parents and I had a lovely Saturday with Wine Escapes. John (our guide) took us on a private tour to various wine estates around Stellenbosch and surrounding areas. He was gregarious, kind, and extremely knowledgable about wine. He was able to explain aspects of the vineyards (grapes, soil, farming techniques), barreling and fermenting, and tasting. We were able to... More

Our guide John, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and took us on an exclusive tour, tailored to our specific wine tastes and interests. We visited two vineyards in the morning, and then a third for lunch, finishing... More

We took a tour with Wine Escapes in early March. I cannot point out a single thing that was not top notch on the tour. John (the guide) was friendly, fun, punctual and last but not least very knowledgeable, not only about the wine related things but also the history of the surroundings. We definitely think this was value for... More
