We had an exceptional time on the wine tour. Everything was arranged well. Jim was very knowledgeable about the wine and the region.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, while exploring wine makers in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek! 😎We appreciated to be able to speak Swedish, as part of the group is not fluent in English.Jim was a excellent guide through the wine tastings, while driving around and we had a remarkable lunch.Enjoy and relax!We sincerely recommend a day with African Invite with wine tasting! 😍

My husband and I booked a private wine tour with Jim for April 7th 2024 (He was recommended to us by a friend who also had a great experience with Jim). Little did we know that it would be the day a big storm blew through the Cape Winelands with a level 9 warning. While we did not get to the planned vineyards, as many were closed due to fallen trees, we certainly enjoyed tasting multiple wines at Lievland, Bartinney, and Avondale Vineyards as well as a delightful lunch at the Faber restaurant at Avondale and a tour of their cellars. Jim was an amazing guide taking great care of us, driving safely, and sharing lots of great information about the area and about the wines we were tasting. He worked hard to find out which vineyards would be open and to ensure we had bookings to replace the ones that were closed - he is someone who can think on his feet and flex with the situation. We had a very enjoyable day, and I would highly recommend Jim for a private wine tour.

Jim was an excellent guide and arranger for a terrific wine tour. Jim is quite knowledgeable on a variety of subjects, including of course wine - wine in general and within the region. I very much appreciated his insights and our day together. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful day! We visited 3 estates that were completely different in style, which made it all the more interesting. We discovered the most beautiful place for lunch. Jim is the best guide you can imagine! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about wine and truly knows everyting about the culture and history of RSA. He is genuinely a very pleasant person to be with. I would not hesitate for a second to book another tour with Jim when we visit South Africa next time.

Jim was incredibly knowledgeable. 1 day with Jim is worth many years of studying wine! We had excellent SA wines and MCC. We are already planning a return trip with Jim in mind.

Jim was a terrific guide. He is very knowledgeable about several topics, and is patient and accommodating. The tour included stops at three wineries with 18 samplings. We also learned a lot about the history and the prople of the areas we navigated. Highly recommended.

Jim was amazing. He took us to three wine estates and was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the wines. At one of the estates he was educating an employee on the wine making process! Jim also knows so much about South Africa and the history. As we were driving from place to place he would tell us what things were, what the culture and history were etc. I highly recommend this tour and Jim.

Super enjoyable long weekend with close friends in the Swartland. Jim is a really competent, humorous and knowledgeable guide. Great food and even better wine. Visits to eclectic "off the beaten track" wineries, chats with passionate wine makers and olive tasting in the Riebeck Kasteel valley. A truly amazing time.

Exploring The Swartland with Jim was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Interesting local stories, fascinating winemakers, exceptional wines, just to name a few of the things we did. Thanks so much - we’ll be back for sure!

Jim was absolutely fantastic and taught us so much about both wine and the local area during our tour. He was personable, knowledgeable, and pleasant during the entire day. We had a much better understanding of winemaking and our preferences after the day. I cannot recommend Jim any more highly.

Brilliant, Jim is a very capable guide. The four estates visited were excellent, outstanding wines and superb commentary from the estate staff and Jim. Recommended without hesitation

Jim was an excellent giude. He gave us a history of the wine area and picked several excellent wineries to visit. The winery he picked for lunch had some of the best food we had in South Africa.

We booked a full day tour with Jim and it was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! Jim drive's the comfortable car himself and on the way he explains a lot about Stellenbosch and the flora and fauna around. The wineries he chose were excellent, so was the restaurant for our lunch! Jim has an extensive knowledge of wine, that he shared with us, while we tasted the different wines. All in all a perfect day :-) Thanks again, Jim!

We had a great day of winetasting with Jim in Stellenbosch. Really good! He selected the 5 places to visit, aswell as the wines to taste. And they were al great! Jim knows a lot about wine and helps you with his knowledge and tips to really taste the different wines. The places he took us were also very beautiful estates with their own different story and strategy. On the way he tells about SA history, Stellenbosch, birds and plants. Well I could go on but I won’t. Just spend a little bit more money than the touristy grouptours and go with Jim. You won’t regret it😀
