Aylmer was our guide for a full day's tasting in 4 Franschhoek wineries, which he chose based on our wine preferences. He has a deep knowledge and real passion for good wine which he shared with good humour and courtesy. Well worth the money - we managed to taste 25 different wines without falling over. Moreson winery was particularly memorable... More

Booked online ahead of our trip to South Africa and asked for Danelle on the strength of the reviews. She was extremely well informed and very pleasant company. We took the full day tour and visited 3 vineyards sampling 6 wines at each. The vineyards provided a good variety of sampling in gorgeous surroundings and Danelle paced the day just... More

Our driver was very knowledgeable and we had the chance to visit three vineyards and taste many different wines. I would probably have preferred a picnic lunch to the sit down one we had, and maybe squeeze in one more vineyard.

We did a full-day tour with a different company the day before (booked by our travel agent) and we booked La Rochelle for a half-day tour the following day (due to the Trip Advisor reviews)... and wished we would have booked La Rochelle both days!!! Danelle was excellent! Her love of wine is contagious, and her knowledge staggering! We cannot... More

We booked a half day wine tour and when we were picked up we discovered it was just the two of us and our guide Aylmar. This could have been awkward if he hadn't been such good company. Not only knowledgeable about the local wines but very informative about everything we enquired about. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and... More

Just had our second wine tour with Danelle and again thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She knows her stuff, not only about the wine but about the whole area and took us to some wonderful vineyards. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend La Rochelle if you're looking for a great experience in the winelands.

Danelle is a wealth of knowledge and she knows how to talk wine while keeping you excited. Her choices for the tasting were wonderful and her warm personality made our visit to Franschhoek very memorable. ps. We appreciate her taking pictures of us. It made the experience very personal.
