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.

What an amazing wine tasting experience with an exceptional guide. Her storytelling brought the wine farm to life, taking us on a fascinating journey through its rich history and the vision, dedication, and hard work of Philip Jonker that have shaped the winery into what it is today. Learning about the heritage behind the Jonker family and the expertise that contributes to producing such an outstanding Chardonnay gave us an even greater appreciation for every glass. As a group of friends, we left with more than just a newfound appreciation for great chardonnay. This was a truly a remarkable experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy exceptional Chardonnay while discovering the inspiring story behind an extraordinary wine farm. - Leon

Absolutely amazing - my wife and I had so much fun! - Gary
We had the most amazing Chardonnay tasting at Weltevrede Wine Estate. The wines were outstanding, but what made it extraordinary was enjoying every sip with our best friends in a historical wine cellar. Weltevrede has a way of turning a simple tasting into a cherished memory. Thank you Weltevrede, we will be joining you soon for yet another Chardonnay tasing. - Leon
Aneldi was our tour guide. She was excellent! Absolutely loved the experience. - Yvonne
