Winelands
Explore South Africa’s culinary capital
Cape Town boasts some of the most majestic and beautiful wine regions in the world. Steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage the Cape Winelands has no shortage of activities for you to experience. From wine tastings at a myriad of wine estates and dining at a plentitude of restaurants to more adventurous activities, the Cape Winelands has it all.
Often described as the Napa Valley of South Africa, the Winelands are formed by a series of small towns linked by majestic mountains and valleys. The most famous being Franschhoek, also the culinary capital of South Africa, Stellenbosch, and Paarl where the Paarl Rock is the second-largest granite outcrop in the world.
A series of generous valleys lying in the shadow of a continuous belt of Cape fold mountains
The mountains surrounding the Winelands not only create an incredible backdrop for the many award-winning estates but are also one of the most important geological reasons why wines do so well in this region. The composition of the soil directly affects the type and quality of wines produced here.
A wide variety of wines are produced in this region from the South African varietal of Pinotage to Bordeaux style blends, Burgundy style pinot noir to the cool and crisp sauvignon blanc rivaling those produced anywhere else in the world.
