Destination introduction

Lovers of fine food and wine will adore the Western Cape’s rich vineyard country. Sample a fine variety of reds and whites while indulging in the magnificent scenery and warm atmosphere of the Western Cape wine routes. Along Table Mountain’s Peninsula Circular Drive, visit the oldest wine estate in the country, Groot Constantia. Beyond Cape Town, Stellenbosch is the second oldest town in South Africa and was founded by Governor Simon Van der Stel in 1679. Originally intended as a vineyard settlement, Stellenbosch is today a picturesque university town. Further afield you can discover Paarl, home to the famous granite domes and the Nederburgh Wine Estate. The Cape of Good Hope with its celebrated nature reserve is around 70 kilometres from the city centre, and a scenic drive to Cape Point reveals breathtaking vistas of pristine beaches, rugged mountain passes and extraordinary native flora. The Western Cape Province offers a fantastic climate and world of attractions, from first class shopping in Cape Town to an ostrich ride at Oudtshoorn!
