Any conversation about vineyards often hovers around the vineyards of Europe especially those of France but few people know about the picturesque vineyards South Africa has in its fold. Its unique topography allows farmers to grow a variety of grapes resulting in wines having their own unique flavour and taste.
Each year thousands of tourists book cheap flights to Capetown to visit South Africa’s wine growing regions that include the Breede River Valley, Little Karoo, Wellington, Paarl, Robertson, Walker Bay, Cape Point, Constantia Valley, Durbanville, Franschhoek, Tulbagh, Elim, Breedekloof, Orange River, Olifants River, Darling & Swartland.
Interestingly, most of them are located along Cape Route 62 that boasts of splendid landscapes, soaring cliffs, crystal clear streams and abundant flora. Considered to be one of the most stimulating routes for tourists, Cape Route 62 is famous amongst travellers for the calmness & serenity it offers. Even the people you meet along this route are very warm, friendly and amiable making your trip a smooth & pleasant experience.
If you are planning to book your flights to Capetown, we suggest you reserve your tickets either for February or for November which are the ideal months for touring South Africa’s major wine regions. Most of the wine growing regions are not far from CapeTown & one can easily spend an entire day touring vineyards and tasting wine that is produced in these regions.
Stellenbosch- A ‘must-visit’ Destination
One place you should not miss while on a wine tour of South Africa is Stellenbosch that has nearly 300 wineries in its fold. Blessed with a mountainous landscape, StellenBosch is replete with lively coffee shops, stylish boutiques & galleries. The region can be further sub-divided into Bottelary Hills, Helderberg, Devon Valley Vintners & Simonsberg. Bottelary Hills is famous for producing the finest red wines while in Heldenberg you can taste wines from century-old cellars and even visit some chic classy boutiques that are famous amongst locals. Sparkling wines from Devon Valley are quite popular while Simonsberg is famous for its rich, full-bodied Cabernets.
The best part about South Africa’s wine regions is that they have promoted wine tasting by backing it up with some top-quality dining facilities. The experience of tasting wines in the backdrop of beautiful landscapes is something that needs to be experienced first-hand. Join a tour of South Africa’s vineyards today – it will be one of the most enriching experiences you will ever have.
