Leleshwa Wines, located near Naivasha in Kenya’s Rift Valley, offers travel agents a structured vineyard and tasting experience that can be included in Kenya itineraries. The estate is one of the country’s established wine producers and provides clients with the opportunity to visit a working vineyard in a scenic rural setting.
During the visit, clients are introduced to the vineyard and wine production process, including grape growing, harvesting, and bottling. Guided tastings form a key part of the experience, where visitors can sample a selection of the estate’s wines while learning about the characteristics of each variety and how they are produced in Kenyan conditions.
The estate environment allows time for clients to walk through parts of the vineyard and enjoy the open surroundings. The experience is relaxed and informative, making it suitable for both wine enthusiasts and clients looking for a different activity outside of wildlife and golf.
From a planning perspective, Leleshwa Wines works well as a stop when travelling between Nairobi and the Maasai Mara, or as part of a Naivasha stay. It can also be included as a lunch and tasting experience. For golf programmes, this visit is particularly suitable on transfer days or rest days, and it provides a good option for non-golfing partners.
