Mattieu was fantastic. Great door-to-door service, and well-organised with good communication and adaptation to our families needs. Would highly recommend.

Matthieu was a great guide to discover all there is to know regarding South African vineyards. We had a great family outing tasting wine, enjoying good food and learning all about the local wines! Overall a great experience!

My fiance and I spent a day with Mathieu bouncing around the vineyards of Stellenbosch in April, and it was one of the best outings we've ever booked. Mathieu made the whole day easy - he picked us up in his van (a blessed break from having to drive ourselves all over), and crafted an entire day for us based on our interests.
His knowledge of both the South African terroir and the intricacies of the wine-making process is seriously impressive. After a vineyard tour he then led a wine-tasting with us -- and while we're DRINKERS, we aren't necessarily TASTERS -- so he talked us through each step of the process, from color to smell to taste to aftertaste. It was a process we recreated every night for the rest of our trip.
Lunch at the vineyard was stellar... and in addition to seeing a couple other domaines before heading back to town we also stopped at the Babylon Gardens to walk around and the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden, which was simply magical.
All in all, probably the most fun we've had LEARNING in ages!
(also impressive: we had Mathieu give us the tours in a mix of English & French and he's equally fluent in both!)
I can't recommend this tour more highly. Would be great for a couple, a family, or a small group of friends.

We spent a entire day to visit viticole domains and taste delicious wines selected previously by Mathieu. You learn about history, the culture and the speficities of South Africa Wines. You see differents places as beautiful as the others, eat a delicous meal and take time to appreciate all of that. Thanks to Mathieu who has been so kind and professional for this memorable day.

Of course it is all about South African wines, but Mathieu's advices and knowledges will help anyone who want to know more about wines in general. A good balance of explanations on the wine history of the region, how to make wine, how to appreciate it and obviously some proper wine-tasting. What is really great with Mathieu is, he will give you some simple tips to understand why you like or don't like a wine, and how to focus on wines you like. It is not about liking the most expensive or famous wine, but liking the one that suits your taste. Might be obvious to say, but not always easy in the wine industry so found of labels.
A really great experience, hats off to the MasterOenologist.

Cape Terroir is really about Matthieu. We thought we knew a lot about wines, and wine-tasting.. That said, Matthieu taught us a lot, and this without making us feel like novices. He is very knowledgeable, about South-African wines and about wines in general; this however without any trace of conceit. Matthieu was an excellent guide in the vineyards of the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek regions, initiating us to some aspects of wine-tasting we had not thought of or appreciated before (and introducing us to some spectacular wines!). Lest you may think he is serious (he is), he is fun, pleasant and excellent company also! We highly recommend a day in the Cape vineyards with Matthieu!

Mathieu is very knowledgable and experienced and knows how to convey his knowledge in a way that is insightful and stimulating. As someone that drinks a lot of wine (!) it was great to go even deeper into the process of tasting wine and all that it entails. The wines were superb and the venue spectacular. The experience was so good in fact that I am going to go again with my dad!

Valérie & I spent a very nice moment and learnt much about wine, wine making and how to go about tasting wines. Mathieu guided us throughout this too short two hour session. His skills helped us understanding better the very complex world of wines. A warm thank you.
We'll certainly recommend this to our friends and guests. Well done!
