Winelands Tour

The green valleys of the Cape Winelands are encircled by hilly mountains. Towns and villages have many houses and monuments, and occasionally orchards must be seen, whose products can found in all corners of the world. Its Mediterranean climate and winter rainfall in south-west of Cape Town produced some of the best wines in the country.
The rich and fertile soils along the Breede River and especially Velley areas of Somerset West, Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek has become world famous for its white, red, sherry, port and cognac. See the Wine Route of the CAP, for a detailed overview of all the wine routes, including the Constantia Valley, coastal roads, Little Karoo and Olifants River Wine Routes and much more.
