We are reasonably knowledgeable about wine and on our recent visit to CapeTown, and wanted a very tailored tour to explore some of the top red wine producing vineyards in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl and the older area of Constantia, one of the earliest settlements. Glen Christie of Vineyard Ventures was recommended and it was a perfect visit in the selected wine regions. We visited around 8 vineyards which are consistently winning awards for their red wines- Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Merlot, Shiraz and blends, capped by the excellent late harvest wines from the top Constantia houses. Glen was marvelous, knew all of the proprietors of the vineyards we requested and we accessed some top drawer reserve or limited release wines for our tastings in very beautiful settings on each of the vineyard properties. We enhanced and broadened our knowledge of these spectacular South African producers and still remained stunned by the reasonable price points for such quality wines. Glen also arranged a great tour of the Cape Peninsula with Andrew and we visited several iconic places throughout the second day of our visit. The cuisine in the Cape is world class and a highlight was lunch at the Michelin quality Pierneef restaurant at La Motte Vineyard with wine pairing from their stellar production. We cannot sing Glen’s praises enough and agreed that she would arrange dinner for us together on our next visit to CapeTown at the Test Kitchen Restaurant with a top vintage from the Chocolate Block from the Boekenhoutskloof Vineyard, which won the prestigious Platter’s Wine Guide Award for 2020. Can’t wait!!

We had a fabulous time with Glen in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands during the Christmas season! Glen went above and beyond to accommodate our diverse requests for our family of 2 parents and 3 adult kids. She knows Cape Town and the surrounding areas inside and out and was able to rearrange our schedule based on weather so that we were able to see all of the sights we wanted in 3 days. Glen’s warm, generous and entertaining personality made her a pleasure to be with! We felt very safe and well taken care of. We’ve traveled the world, and Glen was by far the best private guide experience. As a family of 5, 10 thumbs up for Glen and her company, Vineyard Ventures!

We travelled Africa for 30 days and Marg was our favorite guide the entire trip- well actually across all of our travels throughout the world. She was just fabulous. We had the most amazing day learning, eating and wine tasting. We enjoyed her company and her spirit. She is a wealth of knowledge. You would be very lucky to have her as your tour guide to explore this amazing part of the world .

Glen and the team from Vinyard Ventures were extremely good to communicate with to organize the tours that our family wanted. We did three days: 1) Cape Town City tour, 2) Winelands Tour, and 3) a Cape Peninsula tour. All were private and customized to what we wanted to see and do. We had Glen as our guide for two of the days and she was wonderful - knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. I would highly recommend Vinyard Ventures to anyone visiting Cape Town!

When in Cape Town you MUST see the wine scenery! Is truly amazing! We had a private full day tour with Margie and visited many wineries and had some phenomenal wines and a yummy lunch! It also allows you to view other parts of Cape Town and get a sense for the entire region as a whole. If you enjoy wine, do yourself a favor a book a private tour that goes at your own pace. The best part is that they chose the wineries based on your preference of wine so its tailored to you which to me is a huge plus. Our tour guide was so lovely and made this into a very memorable experience.

I can’t recommend Glen Christie enough. We spent 3 days touring with her in Cape Town. We saw landmarks in the city, visited the Winelands and Did a Peninsula tour. She was always on time and extremely knowledgeable. And a good driver with a clean comfortable car as well. She was very accommodating and we enjoyed her company. You can’t go wrong by booking a tour with her!

Glen was our guide for Vineyard Ventures. We were tight on time so she customized a special three hour tour for us.
Glen is a local and tells great stories as well as history. We highly recommend Glen- she is amazing!

Having been in contact with Glen, the whole process was so easy and the day was booked. Being transported around the wine lands in a comfortable car was great, having a private tour just added to the experience, not being rushed and taking in the whole experience. Glen was very knowledgable and very good company, the trip could not have gone better. Brilliant...
