Winelands

Although Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula offer innumerable impressions and experiences, you should not miss to visit also the Winelands situated beyond the Cape Flats..

The city triangle Stellenbosch-Franschhoek-Paarl is one of the best South African wine cultivable areas. The landscape with green, fertile valleys, stone pine and oak forests, picturesque places and up to 1500 m high mountain formations is worth seeing.

On numerous hiking trails through the Nature Reserves the variety of local plants impresses. You can fish, do mountainbiking, horse riding or even enjoy the landscape in a hot-air balloon.

In the entire area there are ten different wine routes with innumerable vineries. Almost all wine-cellars along the routes offer wine tasting and vinery-tours. Furthermore you can enjoy the Cape-Dutch architecture and the fantastic restaurants on most vineries.
