TASTE THE STARS WINELAND TOURS
The famous Cape Wine Region has much to offer. Stellenbosch and Somerset West lie approximately 40 minutes from central Cape Town, with Franschhoek, Paarl and the Swartland just a little further afield, while the first winelands are a mere fifteen minutes from the city centre in the famous Constantia Valley. These areas have become known as premier wine growing regions, producing internationally acclaimed and award winning wines gaining popularity globally. Further destinations such as the Breede River Valley, Tulbach and Robertson, and Route 62 realise over 300 wine producing estates. Click Here for listing of Top Ten Wineries (as per Wine Magazine.) Opulent and beautiful Cape Dutch Manor Houses offer a glimpse into the gracious past and a varied selection of wine estates offers the most rewards. There are more than twelve wine routes criss crossing the Western Cape and almost any tour can incorporate a visit to a vineyard or two
time permitting.
