A short distance from the city, the winelands region is one of the most picturesque areas of the Western Cape. The three major wine routes, most passing through the quaint and historical towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek, offer an opportunity to appreciate the Cape’s history and traditions while being surrounded by spectacular landscapes of vineyards hugging hills and valleys. The best way to discover the winelands is by car hire, where you can stop of your own accord at the wine estates’ traditional Cape Dutch homesteads. Take time to sample the farms’ offerings, tour the cellars or enjoy a leisurely lunch on the spacious grounds. Wine tastings, offered by age-old estates, are a popular means of sampling one of the Cape’s greatest exports. At most wine estates it is possible to purchase bottles or cases of the estate’s wines.
