It spans an impressive 850 kilometres and the excellent wineries along the way are a must-visit for lovers of fine wine! You can even enjoy the winelands on a day trip from Cape Town.

Suburbs like Durbanville and Constantia are even closer to the city centre and are also home to many exceptional wineries.
