Embark on an exciting wine tasting tour to South Africa with us!

Not a lot of people know that South Africa is the world’s ninth largest producer of wine. There are more than 600 wineries in the country responsible for making more than 6000 different types of wine. But it was not always this way. First, there was a long period of isolation when, due to the lack of professional knowledge, most wineries produced tired red and white wines that tasted like smoked rubber and acid rain. Now South Africa is one of the fastest developing countries, and its wine-supplying capacity is growing too. The biggest brands presented on the market are Arniston Bay and Kumala. There are also a number of smaller but equally good brands such as Boschendal, Jordan, Morgenster, Tokara, Thelema, Rustenberg, and Kanonkop. By the way, the latter has recently received a perfect score from one of the top UK wine experts! If you love wine, but you never tried one from South Africa, you are seriously missing out. But we can recommend something better than just ordering a bottle of African finest chardonnay. We suggest that you go on a wine tour to South Africa and not only taste the wine but also see where and how it is produced. Gourmet Wine Travel company will take care of all the details – all you have to do is book a seat!

5 benefits of South Africa wine tours

● You don’t need to drive
Booking a tour means that you don’t need to worry about buying tickets, booking accommodation or renting a car. The most frustrating thing about driving is that you can’t drink while you are at it. Which means that while others will be enjoying the warm feeling of a crisp sauvignon boiling inside their stomachs, you will be forced to taste and spit out the precious red. On our tour, you are a passenger and allowed to join the party!
● You can skip homework
Doing South Africa wine tasting without a guide would mean only one thing – spending a lot of time on the Internet reading about local wineries and their history. We know for sure that nothing makes wine tasting more magical than hearing fascinating stories about the wineries which is why we always come prepared.
