Off the charts experience…. We highly recommend these guys. Danelle our guide made the experience highly educational but great fun. There is nothing she didn’t know. We will be back. We did a full day mystery tour and a half day wine/cheese/chocolate tour. I would repeat this every week if I could!!!!

Wow, what an incredible experience, Danelle is the most amazing wine/tour expert! Such incredible knowledge of not only wine but also SA history. Can’t recommend Danelle any higher! Thank you so much for a memorable tour 🍷🥳

Glad I found LaRochelle Wine Tours. I worked with Johan to organize wine tour transport from Cape Town, a couple of days touring in and around Stellenbosch and returns to airport and cape town. I grew up near the wine regions of Napa and Sonoma in California and am familiar with wines, so for this short 3 day trip I didn't need a guide, though LaRochelle does offer those services. The transport service was just right. The driver was always on time, the vehicle clean and in good repair. Even though I didn't need a guide, Johan was very helpful during the planning phase to advise me in how much time I'd need to get from place to place, and which wine farms should be priorities from my list. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Our driver was polite, informative, reliable and knew the area well - many wine farms have different entrances or driveways depending on your activities - he always got us to the right place. I highly recommend LaRochelle for winelands transportation and will be using them again for my next trip to Cape Town's wine regions.

Elmer has a trip that will enhance your wine appreciation to the next level It will increase your ability to pair wine with food and thus your enjoyment. But it is a mystery trip so I have told you too much Steve

We had a great experience with La Rochelle Wine Tours from the moment we reached out to schedule with them. Johan was extremely prompt and thorough to respond to our inquiry and other questions, and he was able to reschedule our tour a few days beforehand when our travel plans changed. On the day of the tour, we were picked up promptly by Aylmer and had a wonderful time! He was personable, hilarious, and clearly knew his wine. I would recommend this company and tour to anyone looking for an organized and fun time in the winelands.

Our driver was super professional- on time, safe, knew our itinerary in advance, and was totally flexible when we asked to stay longer at the last winery that we were absolutely loving.

Johan’s communication was very quick and thorough. Trip was exactly as described at great prices. Must do to work with Johan for an experience in the wine lands.

What an amazing wine tour with Danelle, visited the Tokara and Ernie Els wineries and tasted some very nice wines. From meeting at our Stellenbosch hotel to dropping us back Danelle was an incredible host, guide, and advisor. Her knowledge of wine and South Africa in general is unbelievable, I think we earned a diploma. Plus Danelle took some excellent photographs for us at both wineries. Also, she gave us a list of recommended restaurants to try both in Stellenbosch and Cape Town. Would really recommend a tour with La Rochelle Wine Tours.

Danielle was a great host. It was a small party tour and we were the only ones on this tour. We visited 3 wineries all very different but all with high quality tastings. Danielle was very knowledgeable and was a mine of wine and broader South African knowledge. From talking with her it is clear she knows a lot about wine, wine making and enjoying wine. She is really good fun too, with a great, if not wicked, sense of humour. Though it was a tour it felt more like a day out with a newly found 'chum' We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend.

Our tour guide Aylmer was above and beyond exceptional!!! This was an experience unlike any wine tasting and food pairing I’ve ever experienced. He guided us step by step through the whole process of tasting. He was early picking us up at the Hotel but didn’t rush us . This was a First Class experience and would recommend the full day wine, cheese, chocolate and olive tour with Aylmer as your guide to anyone visiting Cape Town !

Our driver, Bev, was excellent. Even though we’d only booked a taxi for the day(we opted to book the vineyards ourselves), Bev gave us lots of tips and even took us to try a fantastic sweet wine from Haute Cabriere which wasn’t on our itinerary but we’re very glad we visited. You can tell she’s passionate about her job and really cares about her clients. The mini bus was clean and she was on time. A great day out and very much recommended! 😊

Fantastic experience! Our guide Elma was amazing. Really friendly guy. His knowledge about wine, wine and food pairings and the local area was exceptional. We learned so much! Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Stellenbosch area.

Maybe the best day of our first ever trip to South Africa. We were met by our guide, Aylmar, to discover that we were the only ones booked for the day and so had him, and his minibus, to ourselves. I won't reveal where we went but Alymar's choices were top notch and the pairing experiences very relaxed, enjoyable and enlightening! What we found particularly interesting was finding out a lot more about what makes this part of the country tick and some revealing insights on the history of SA and the social fabric of the nation. Anyhow back on the wine - if you are on the mystery tour make sure you get the nougat / Cape Classique pairings - sublime wines in an incredible setting! We will return - the day will live long in the memory.

We did the Half-Day Chocolate Cheese and Wine Tour (sorry that wasn't an option in the drop down for review) with Danelle. It was our second time doing this tour (last time was 2017). Danelle has an exceptional knowledge of wine and is great at sharing this. We also ended up asking to have the very lovely Mia the daschund along on our tour. She's a very sweet dog and made for a lively outing, a great option if you're a dog lover.

First of all, Andrew. Absolutely a star driver, conversationalist and human being. We were so pleased to have him with us for two days straight - such a pleasure to be with. He was always early, a real gem to speak with and he has some great stories. Really recommend!!! This tour was so useful if you wish to go to wineries off the beaten track and create your own itinerary. They were superb. Highly recommend visiting Uva Mira, Jordan (picnics are sensational), Meerlust, Kanonkop, Rust en Vrede and De Toren.
