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

This is such a fabulous and very full day trip. The itinerary is flexible but will always include an awe inspiring drive down through the spectacular Cape Peninsula with her majestic mountains and ever changing seascapes to Cape Point National Park (Baboons, ostriches, antelope and the elusive Cape mountain zebra may pop their heads out for us if we are lucky so please keep an eye open for them, every sighting is a special treat. ) We will visit the African penguin colony at Boulders and do a wine tasting in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. There are two options for a lunch stop one in the Park and one at the winery, I need you to let me know your choice ahead of time so that I can make the booking and adjust the itinerary accordingly.

Kim was an outstanding tour guide and truly elevated our Cape Town experience. She has an impressive depth of knowledge of the local wine regions and the fine wine industry, which added real depth and context to every stop. What truly set her apart was her flexibility—she was incredibly nimble and effortlessly adjusted plans to accommodate our group’s diverse interests and needs. The experience felt seamless, personalized, and well thought out from start to finish. Kim was engaging, professional, and a pleasure to spend the day with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality, thoughtfully curated tour in Cape Town.

We had a memorable day with Kim. She was on time, an excellent driver, and has a vast knowledge about the city. Highly recommend this tour and Kim as your guide!

Kim D is more than a wonderful guide. She is actually a 'miracle lady'. She met us at the pier and we started the tour in a very comfortable van. It was not an ideal day: let me count the ways: cold, raining, fog, and being a Friday very heavy traffic. Outcome: Outstanding Experience. Kim loves her home town and it is contagious; we enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Cape area traveling through some beautiful coastline areas, wooded areas, wonderful small towns, even townships. Had a break port side (Hout Bay), more lovely sights, lunch in a local BBQ restaurant in Cape Point. It was a great way to end a 25-day cruise from Lisbon down the West Coast of Africa, mostly new cities for us. Had been to South Africa and Cape Town a few years ago, and the 'renewal visit' was equally fulfilling. Thanks KIM. Betty and Marcelo, Florida USA

Exceptional. We booked 2 days in Cape Town with Kim. One a food and wine tour and the second, Cape of Good Hope and the Penguins at Boulder Beach. We have done a few TBL around the world and have had no better guide than Kim. Her knowledge of wine is outstanding and her love for the area is apparent as she explains the surroundings. We learned so much from her and could not have wished for a better experience. We may have left a bit of our heart in South Africa, but we believe we gained a friend.

Kim has a effervescent personality that made our tour very memorable. She was flexible in the itinerary based on the our desires. Kim knew how to avoid the tour bus groups. I highly recommend using Kim on your next visit to Cape Town.
