Wine routes
Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch answer for the bulk of South Africa’s famous wines; the wines are delicious and the settings sublime.
Hiking
Nature reserves, mountain trails and wine walks weave through spectacular scenery with fertile, river-fed valleys and remote craggy peaks every which way you look.
Dining
For what is a fine wine without an excellent meal to go with it? Each area has dozens of excellent restaurants, which are a veritable showcase for everything from the setting to the wine list.
Heritage trails
Much of South Africa’s European history begins in this area and there are monuments and testaments to all that went on centuries before.
Cultural indulgences
Winemaking is a slow and patience-testing process, so there are many distractions to keep the inhabitants from trouble: gastro-fests, exhibitions, theatre, music shows, carnivals...
Gentle adventure
Take to the skies in a stealthy balloon; cruise the fairways in a humming golf cart; trot through the valley on a trusty stead; explore the region on a whirring mountain bike.
Alternative lifestyles
Strawberry farms, cheese factories, corkscrew shops and vinotherapy - the wine industry has spawned numerous subsidiaries and many rare discoveries await you. |
