Hello
My name is Melanie Melvill, a proud Stellenbosch local with a lifelong passion for the wine industry. Growing up in the heart of the Winelands, I’ve developed an insider’s knowledge of the most scenic driving routes, hidden winery gems, and beloved local restaurants.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working both in the Stellenbosch Winelands and on the dynamic London wine scene. Today, I live in Stellenbosch with my husband and our two young daughters.
The natural beauty of this region and its exceptional variety of wine experiences continue to inspire me, we are truly spoiled for choice.
I can’t wait to share the magic of Stellenbosch with you!
The Story
Vineyard Voyages specializes in private, high-end wine tours throughout Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Your tour will be led by myself, a certified local expert from Cape Wine Academy and WSET. Our tours focus on immersive experiences that highlight the region's finest estates that are off the standard tourist routes.
​​
With a commitment to exclusive excursions, I offer more than just a scenic drive through the Winelands. I invite you to discover the ancient soils beneath the vines, and explore how the interplay of mountains, oceans, and valleys creates the unique mesoclimates that make one estate’s wine so distinct from another just across the valley.
Together, we’ll appreciate the artistry of winemaking and the exceptional hospitality that make the South African Winelands truly world-class.
