Every tour I host starts long before you arrive. It's shaped by where I've come from, what I've learned, and the kind of day I'd want if I were in your shoes.

I grew up in the w**elands of South Africa, and I always knew I wanted a job that would be different every day. So studying Viticulture and Oenology at Stellenbosch University just made sense to me.
After that, I spent about six years travelling the world, living in seven different w**e countries and working alongside w**emaking teams. Everywhere I went, I saw how important w**e tourism is. It's how people connect with w**e, and with the places it comes from. Along the way, I was honoured to be named one of W**eland Magazine's Top 30 Under 30.
I first visited Ch*****ne in 2017, just as a day tourist from Paris. But it was in 2019, when I came back for harvest, that I fell in love with the region. The following year, I started the WINTOUR European Master's in W**e Tourism Innovation, and throughout my studies I kept finding my way back to Ch*****ne. So I wrote my thesis on Ch*****ne, and on what visitors here are looking for in a w**e tourism experience.
Fourteen years in w**e later, every tour I host is built on both: a deep knowledge of w**e, and a real understanding of what makes a day in Ch*****ne unforgettable.
I'm South African, and if you've ever been lucky enough to visit the Cape W**elands, you'll know that their standard for w**e tourism and hospitality is one of the highest in the world. You're never just a visitor there. You're welcomed in.
That's something I really wanted to bring with me to Ch*****ne. For me, when you come on a tour with me, I welcome you the way I would welcome a friend who comes to visit me here. I want you to feel relaxed, looked after, and like you're seeing Ch*****ne through the eyes of someone who lives it.
But at the same time, I never forget where we are. Ch*****ne is a luxury product, and your day should feel like a luxury experience. So for me, it's about bringing those two things together: the warmth of the Cape W**elands and the elegance of Ch*****ne.
