Activity Overview:
Whether you are looking for an educational, heartfelt, or relaxed experience, the Captivated by Chardonnay tour promises to exceed your expectations.
This one hour underground tour is divided into three parts. Visitors will start by learning where Chardonnay is produced in the world and how it spread to the Robertson Valley. Secondly, the tour will focus on the winemaker’s philosophy, the hand of the artisan, and why he pursues an elegant, unpretentious style in Chardonnay. Lastly, visitors will move to the deepest part of the underground tour where they will be looking at the history of wine dating back to 500 years B.C. The tour ends with a poetry reading, written by Philip Jonker, while visitors sip on the exclusive Poet’s Prayer Chardonnay.
This tour is an in-depth experience of the essence of Chardonnay, geography, geology, history, and hope. Visitors can experience all of this while savouring this noble cultivar in the dimly lit underground wine tanks.

The underground tasting was an unbelievable experience! I have done it twice and every time enjoyed the information and the tour to be more than world class. This tour is a must see experience and offers so much more than what can be put in words! - Freda
This was a very special experience that gave food for thought long after leaving there. We had meaningful conversations with staff. The wine is excellent and the life lessons staying by you. More than a physical experience, a spiritual experience as well! - Adele

The Chardonnay tour at Weltevrede was one of the best wine tours we have ever joined. The tour guide was absolutely great. His knowledge and skill to present the tour was exceptional. The lay out of the cellar and underground tunnels was done in a very innovative way and the tasting of your excellent Chardonnay contributed to a most enjoyable experience. Thank You Weltevrede. - Marais
