Cape Winelands
With its magnificent natural beauty, its rich cultural heritage and its world-renowned wines - the Winelands Region is synonymous with all the best that the Cape has to offer.
A 45-minute drive from Cape Town take you to the Winelands where splendid mountains form a dramatic backdrop to lush vineyards and gabled Cape Dutch homesteads steeped in history.
The region can be visied as a day trip from Cape Town either on an organised tour or self drive but ideally a few days in the region as part of a longer trip, perhaps on route to the Garden Route or Eastern Cape is perfect.
The region is perfect for self drive trips with an excellent road network and attractive small towns with excellent small boutique hotels, guesthouses and wine estates located at convenient points along your chosen route.
Experience the hospitality and beauty of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Franschhoek and Robertson in the Breede River Valley.
Visit some of the many wine farms, or stroll down a beautifully restored street in one of the historical town centres and visit the museums and monuments that pay homage to our proud history.
The excellent wines produced in this area are world-renowned. Join the winemaker on a tour of his cellar where the harvest is lovingly transformed into every wine lover's delight.
A week in the Winelands and Western Cape region compliment perfectly, a safari with Safari Club in the wilder country further north or Botswana's Okavango and Chobe regions.
