The areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek comprise the magnificent region of the Winelands. These historic towns are fascinating attractions in their own right, not to mention the many surrounding wine farms.
It is the Mediterranean climate and winter rainfall of the south-western Cape that produces some of the best wines in the country. The rich, fertile soils along the Breede River and especially the areas of Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, have become world famous for their whites, reds, sherries, ports and brandies. You will be spoilt for choice between small, boutique wineries and the larger, more commercial wine estates.
As well as sampling some of the world’s best wines in magnificent surrounds, you can join the winemaker on a tour of his cellar where the harvest is lovingly transformed into award-winning wines.
