The Winelands

A visit to the Western Cape is simply not complete without exploring the Winelands. South Africa’s wine industry, now the ninth largest in the world, dates back to the 17th century, and the wineries here welcome visitors with open arms, often providing free tastings and tours.

The Winelands

Spend a few nights in picturesque Franschhoek and visit the local vineyards and those in Stellenbosch and Paarl. In fact, the Winelands actually begin just the other side of Table Mountain, in Constantia, and this makes a great base from which to access both the wineries and Cape Town.
