A Visual Delight in the Cape Winelands
The Cape Winelands, located in the heart of the Western Cape, are a visual feast of lush green valleys, rocky mountains, and world-class wine-producing estates. With a centuries-long history, this region has become linked with good wine and stunning scenery.
Paarl – The Adorable Wine Oasis
Voyage in Paarl, one of South Africa’s oldest cities, rich in historical charm, culture, and architectural history. Stroll down Main Street Paarl, a vibrant assemblage of magnificently restored buildings in a variety of architectural styles, including Cape Dutch, Edwardian, Victorian, and Art Deco. There’s also a distinct mix of vineyards and residential subdivisions here, lending the town a pleasant country vibe.
Explore the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve while in Paarl, a magnificent area characterized by fynbos vegetation and enormous granite rock formations. You may also see the Afrikaans Language Monument, the country’s oldest Dutch Reformed Church, and the Groot Drankenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela was once imprisoned.
Stellenbosch – Classic Elegance
Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second oldest town, welcomes you with timeless beauty. The most exquisite surviving examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian architecture in the Cape are framed by oak-lined alleys. Take a stroll down Dorp Street, a national monument and South Africa’s oldest residential street.

Franschhoek, founded over 350 years ago by French Huguenots, is widely recognized as South Africa’s gastronomic capital. This lovely town, nestled against the majestic Franschhoek and Drakenstein mountains, has a French flare that can be found in its guesthouses, café-lined streets, antique boutiques, art galleries, and bakeries.
Don’t miss the French Huguenot Museum, the Vintage Motor Museum, or a great chocolate tasting experience at the boutique Chocolaterie while in Franschhoek.
