I have been in the wine industry either part or full-time for the last 30 years and I have been a wine specialist guide for almost 2 decades. I developed an insatiable curiosity for all the facets of the wine industry when I sat in on some of Cape Wine Academy's Diploma Level lectures. This prompted me to begin my own studies and I have been learning about wine ever since. Someone once asked me how much I know about wine, my answer remains the same today: "I know enough about wine to know that I know next to nothing. " What I do know is that I love taking people on tours through the magical vineyards in the Western Cape. There are so many to choose from and so little time… When you come on a tour with me, you will be treated to interesting out-of-the-classroom lessons and discussions which may include geography, history, science, politics, philosophy, sociology and art, not to mention an introduction to the myriad culinary delights that this part of the world has to offer! I completed the Diploma Courses with The Cape Wine Academy and have been a registered wine specialist tour guide for nearly 20 years. * I don't have any restrictions on my tours.

Overview of your Cape Town tour

If you looooooooove food and wine, then this is a fun day for you! A day full of delightful culinary combinations. There are wonderful/interesting wine pairing options at all the wine farms that we visit, some are very simple and others are more nuanced. Some wineries like to show off our yummy local dishes paired with their wine treasures so be prepared for a taste sensation. We will visit a minimum of three wine farms so make sure that you come hungry... and thirsty...? I can also arrange bigger vehicles for larger groups. This will involve an additional cost. Please contact me for the details and a quote.

The amount of knowledge Kimmi has about wine (and South Africa/Cape Town in general) is vast, and it's amazing how she's able to present it in a very approachable way. Wine drinkers of all backgrounds or levels of expertise can easily enjoy the conversations. We also really enjoyed that as we were driving out to Stellenbosch and talking about wine, she pivoted slightly from her original plan to take us to places she thought we'd find much more interesting and special. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Kimmi for your next tour to the Cape Winelands. She is an excellent, extremely knowledgeable guide with an engaging personality. Her enthusiasm for her job is infectious. She was amazingly flexible in ensuring our tour was a success. We originally booked her for 6 hours. Unfortunately, our cruise ship informed us that we had to leave two hours early. Even with the short timeframe, she provided us an excellent tour - even getting one winery to open early just for us and providing us some great wines to taste. Our group had such a fun time with Kimmi. If you want a great time on a wine tasting (and food pairing), you cannot go wrong with Kimmi!

Kim provided an excellent tour of the Stellenbosch wine region. She is very knowledgeable and full of relevant information. She was timely in getting us picked up and communicated very well. She adapted the tour once she understood our wine preferences.

Our day with Kim was the best day ever! She’s lovely, knowledgeable and an amazing host! She became our instant friend! We can’t say enough about her charm, energy and kindnesss! We hope to someday guide her around Los Angeles!

It was a wonderful day with Kim! Instead of just visiting wineries, we felt like we had our own sommelier with us! Kim taught us so much and was so incredibly accommodating and flexible with our wishes and needs! She has an engaging personality and is more than willing to tell the whole story instead of only the “nice to hear” parts. I loved her candor and wit and wish her the best always!

We had a great time! Kimmi is a great guide. She is very knowledgeable about the wineries and the wines. People at the wineries know her and we felt like we got special treatment because we were with her! We had a lot of input on where we went on this tour. We would highly recommend this tour an especially Kim!
