More about Stellenbosch Mavericks

The iconic Stellenbosch Wine Route had several pioneer founding farms. This private tour visits some of them, with your specialised Wine Tour guide discussing the origins and features of this world-famous wine region. Starting in 1971, these estates were responsible for the establishment of the public’s ability to visit and sample wines in beautiful surroundings – at the supply source. We start the experience at one of the farms instrumental in the founding of South Africa’s wine route culture. This farm was also the first to experiment and perfect the production of Cap Classique (2nd “in-the-bottle” fermentation sparkling wine). We will visit two more famous pioneering estates, including the option of lunch under the oaks. This tour is a must for the serious wine lover, but also presents a great atmospheric experience for the casual visitor.
