Cape Winelands holidays are one of the best ways to explore South Africa’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage while enjoying award-winning wines and delicious cuisine. Cape Town’s dry and sunny climate makes this location perfect for cultivating wine.

Hop-on-hop-off The Franschhoek Wine Tram on a Cape Town Winelands tour and explore Franschhoek Valley. Many of the region’s wineries have been around for centuries so you can spend the day learning about the history of these picturesque vineyards whilst sampling award-winning wines and world-class
cuisine. Including towns, such as Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, this South African wine region offers Cape Dutch architecture, boutique hotels and world-class wine tasting at wine estates that are centuries old. The Cape Winelands region is set amongst a belt of majestic mountains which create a remarkable backdrop and deep valleys filled with vineyards and fruit farms.

A relaxing day filled with wine, cheese and biltong

Take the Franschhoek hop-on-hop-off tram tour and indulge in all that Franschhoek’s vineyards have to offer. Known as the gourmet capital of the country, this is a must for those looking to try some of the best food and wine in South Africa. History lovers will enjoy a visit to Huguenot Memorial Museum, dedicated to the French settlers who arrived at the Cape in the seventeenth century.

The Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve offers beautiful hikes for those looking to immerse themselves in nature or why not take a leisurely day tour sampling wines from each region? Start with wine tasting in Stellenbosch and make your way through to the beauty of Paarl.

A Cape Winelands holiday pairs well with a Cape Town visit. Enjoy vibrant culture, golden beaches and epic views of Table Mountain or embark on an exhilarating drive along the iconic Garden Route.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to the Cape Winelands?

You can take a non-stop flight from London Heathrow Airport to Cape Town International Airport which is around 11 hours and 30 minutes. From Cape Town airport, it’s then approximately 173 kilometres to drive to the Cape Winelands district. 

When is the best time to visit the Cape Winelands?

Each season is distinctive and brings something special to see and experience in the Cape Winelands; soak up the sunshine while enjoying al fresco dining and chilled wine in the summer (between November and January); discover the region in autumn, when the vineyards turn to stunning shades of orange and gold; wait until winter and cuddle up next to a roaring fire with a glass of fruity red when the sun sets; or visit in spring, when beautiful wild flowers adorn the valleys and mountains.

Where should I visit in the Cape Winelands region?

We highly recommend the popular wine-making towns of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl. They are all within easy reach of each other and offer different sights and experiences. A prime spot for whale-watching, coastal Hermanus is also within easy reach of the region.
