We took a tour with Mervyn on Easter Monday and it was quite simply superb! Arranging the tour was trivial, just a trip to the desk in the V&A, many thanks to Amanda for sorting it all out seamlessly for us. We took in 5 different wineries and got to see all ends of the Spectrum from the grandure of... More

Although I live in the Garden Route area of South Africa, I had to find a way of getting the most out of a visit to Cape Town, during my daughters' visit, Jan/Feb, this year. I was recommended to talk to Ligia, at the Winedesk, who asked what sort of things the girls would like to do and went on... More

We left it rather late to book over the bank holiday weekend for the Franschoek Lifestyle tour and initially there was no space, however the lady at the Cape Town information desk called us back a few hours later having found us a guide for the day. We had David all to ourselves for the same price. David was a... More

When we first looked at the Wine Desk on Tripadvisor we were rather impressed by the positive tone of the reviews. Knowing that we would be in Cape Town for just over a week, which included the long easter weekend, we decided to go for it. In good time we did so and thanks once again Tripadvisor for leading us...

We recently booked a last minute trip with the Wine Desk. The Wine Desk guide, Jamie Greatorex met us at our hotel after we arrived from the Cape Town airport. We didn’t know how lucky we were to get Jamie. We explained to him that we just arrived from twenty hours of flying from the States and needed to freshen... More

We booked a private tour through Ligia who runs the wine desk as we had used the company on a previous visit to Cape Town and found their service to be most excellent. We were not disappointed second time around. We visited 4 vineyards in Franschhoek and 2 in Stellenbosch. They were all fantastic but our wine desk guide Mervyn... More

We booked the one day Cape Peninsula and Winery tour via the Wine Desk. Tour booking was smooth. We ended up being the only people doing the tour that day so had the great pleasure of having Wayne Donaldson from Ocean & Vine Tours all to ourselves. He gave us a great run through the beautiful peninsula scenery with lots... More

We had a day trip round Stellenbosch with Jamie as our guide. He was very knowledgable and was happy to start from the beginning (for us wine beginners!) The wine was great and we learned a lot! Jamie was also very helpful in advising us of other great things we should see and do while we were in South Africa.... More

Ligia was my online contact who set up everything for us. She was courteous, friendly, and she was very interested in helping us pick the right tour. When she knew we were doing another wine tour, she was able to suggest something new and different: the Wine Tour with Peebles Project, a non-for-profit organization dedicated to helping the children of...
