We had a lovely experience doing the wine tour from Montagu! As we were the only ones on the bus from Montagu that day, we got the VIP treatment from Gert, our tour guide, who collected us from the place we were staying at on time, and made provision for us to make a quick stop at Cogmanskloof Pass to take some photos!
We went to three wine farms; he accommodated us whilst still having another tour group at the same time, and was always punctual for our pickups to the next wine estate. He also made sure to introduce us to the staff at each wine estate, and we felt very looked after. Michelle and Mariaan were both very helpful as well, arranging our tour ahead of time and giving us suggestions on places to stay and visit whilst in Montagu.
The bottle and blend at Excelsior Wine estate was one of the highlights of the trip, and it was great to make our own bottle of wine to take back with us! Van Loveren will always hold a special place in our hearts, and the boat trip at Viljoensdrift was a lovely addition.
If you live within the town of Montagu, you can arrange to be collected and dropped off at the place you stay at, which gave us peace of mind knowing we could enjoy ourselves responsibly and safely. We can definitely recommend Wine...

The first stop was at Bon Courage, the guy pouring our wines was disorganised and lacked Knowledge of the wines and the wine farm.
The second, and shortest stop was Van Lovren. I wish we had stayed here longer. Beautiful farm and friendly staff.
The last stop was the boat cruise. What an anticlimax. Everything from the wine tasting to the boat cruise was just meh...under par, not worth a single cent.
Would I do this again? Definitely not. Rather get a designated driver and do...
   Read moreWe had a great day on this tour of 3 estates. Gert picked us up in the zebra bus, was a comfortable ride from Montagu to the estates. Gert was on time to pick us up after each event. The highlight in my mind was Excelsior wine estates where you get to blend your very own bottle of wine, cork it your self, seal the bottle and print yourself a label for it. Thr boat trip at viljoensdrift was also very nice. Take a bottle of wine, cheese and bread from the on-site shop and they give you a basket and glasses to take on the boat, enjoy. I highly recommend this...
