i Breedekloof Breedekloof General Info

General Info

A short one-hour scenic drive from Cape Town to the small town of Rawsonville will take you to the heart of the Breedekloof valley, a prime holiday, conference and wedding destination. The area is home of 24 wineries and known to be the "fun" wine route of the Cape. Here you will find yourself close to nature and in an ecoconscious region boasting a range of outdoor activities, wine and food along the Breede, Molenaars, Elandsjacht and Smalblaar rivers. French Huguenot settler Pieter du Toit discovered the Breedekloof area in 1716. Part of the land within the Breedekloof is known as Goudini, derived from the indigenous Khoi-San word meaning ‘fragrant honey’, hence the name of the popular holiday resort in the area.

Wineries in the Breedekloof are known for producing easy drinking new-world style wines. Award winning wines normally includes Chardonnay, Pinotage and sweet dessert wines from the area.

Accommodation Refer to the map on page 16 & 17 as well as the list of accommodation on page 18.

i Franschhoek Franschhoek General Info

General Info

Franschhoek (French corner) is one of the oldest towns in South Africa and has a strong French history and influence as this is where the French Huguenot refugees settled in 1688. Many of the refugees were given land by the then Dutch government who ruled the Cape of Good Hope. Many farms and businesses still have French names and the town’s atmosphere is uniquely French-like.

The town’s close proximity to Cape Town (45 minutes), ideal weather, architectural beauty, huge variety of culinary offerings and award winning wines make it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Cape Winelands. Many describe Franschhoek as the "food and wine capital" of South Africa. Apart from the cozy coffee shops and sociable restaurants, the village is rich in history and offers many art galleries, craft, interior and antique shops.

There is always something to do in Franschhoek and major events include the Franschhoek Harvest Festivals (February & March), Literary Festival (May), Cook Franschhoek (June), Bastille Festival (July), Franschhoek Uncorked (September), Open Gardens Festival (October), Cap Classique & Champagne Festival (December).

Haute Cabrière

Franschhoek

Cradled by the Franschhoek mountains, Haute Cabrière is deeply rooted in history. Following French tradition, the still wines are named after the farm – Haute Cabrière - and the Méthode Classique range is named after the original founder, Pierre Jourdan - a French Huguenot, who was granted the land in 1694. Today, his pioneering spirit lives on in proprietor Achim von Arnim and his family – wine enthusiasts whose lust for life is visible in every aspect of the estate.

i Paarl Paarl General Info

General Info

Paarl is the third oldest town in the country and has a considerable viticultural heritage spanning from 1687 when Governor Simon van der Stel awarded titles to the first colonial farms in the area. The name Paarl, derived from “Perel” (meaning pearl in Dutch) refers to the large pearl shaped granite rock on Paarl mountain.

Paarl offers many magnificently preserved examples of Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings situated alongside the 12 km long Main Road, the longest in the country. Visit the oldest Dutch Reformed Church still in use in South Africa (Strooidak church) or one of the museums to view the history and subsequent development of the area.

The town was in the international spotlight when Nelson Mandela, who spent the

final years of his incarceration at the Victor Verster prison, walked to freedom in 1990. This also marked the beginning of the democratic rule in South Africa.

A bronze statue of Mandela now stands outside the prison to commemorate this event.

Paarl offers an array of shops, art galleries and restaurants as well as many wine cellars and tasting facilities. There are also many hiking and cycling trails and scenic drives which can be enjoyed in and around the town.

Robertson is situated in the Breede River Valley, popular for its beauty, award winning wines and thoroughbred horses.

The Robertson area is surrounded by the spectacular Langeberg Mountains offering tranquil nature scenes, fruit orchards and vineyards.

Robertson has a treasure-trove of national monuments that should be visited such as the Pink Church dating back to 1859, the Museum, the Edwardian (12 Piet Retief Street), the Victorian (59 Van Reenen Street) both houses dating back to the early 1900s as well as the Powder House.

Montagu situated on the R62 at the feet of the Langeberg Mountains, together with Ashton forms a natural gateway to the Klein Karoo. Montagu is not only known for its lush and fertile valleys but also for its hot springs. Montagu is perfectly located to offer an array of outdoor, adventure and eco activities.

Be sure to drive through the hole in the wall at Kogmanskloof, considered as the gateway to the Klein Karoo.

McGregor, also situated on Route 62, just 10 minutes from Robertson, is a picturesque village with beautiful whitewashed cottages lining its streets. McGregor is not only a popular spot for healers, artists and craftsmen but is also a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle from the city.

Route 62 meanders all the way from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and is a popular wine route, leading through the wine-growing areas of not only Montague, Robertson, Ash-

60

ton and McGregor but runs through many other wine producing regions. The R62 is one of the longest wine routes in South Africa.

Activities along the route include safari drives, cultural tours, museums, hiking and 4x4 routes.

Robertson

Graham Beck Wines is well known for its innovative architecture and spectacular scenery. In Robertson the natural surroundings of the Klein Karoo with its rich dark soils, lichen covered rocks, vibrant aloes and dusky fynbos is echoed perfectly in the warm, colourful hues of this unmistakable cellar and tasting room. Although quite a departure from the norm, this rather avant garde structure with its sloping green roof, apricot walls and aubergine steel work has now become a well loved local landmark.

Be prepared for a scintillating sensory experience.

Ornament Gallery

Stellenbosch Ornament Gallery specialises in contemporary jewellery, showcasing the work of internationally acclaimed local artist Aninka Harms. Although the emphasis is on jewellery design from South African as well as International artists, theme exhibitions are enhanced with ceramics, textile and paintings. The concept of Ornament is to bridge the gap between “applied” and “pure” art. This difference is merely a romantic idea that has made way to a more holistic approach with flowing borders. The choice is now to select a work of quality, instead of deciding between art and craft.

Take the R44/R46 through the Nuwekloof Pass and discover the charming, yet contemporary town of Tulbagh, only 120km from Cape Town. The valley was discovered by European settlers in 1658 and was developed from 1743 when the museum church was built. In 1969 the town suffered major damage due to a devastating earthquake. Most of the historic buildings were painstakingly restored to its original glory.

Today, Church Street constitute the largest concentration of National Monuments in a single street in South Africa.

Apart from being a central base to explore the Witzenberg Mountains and surrounds, Tulbagh is also a popular location for country-style weddings. The town is romantically set against the beautiful mountain backdrop with stylish Cape Dutch architecture, wild flowers and natural beauty.

Tulbagh is a tourist destination for all seasons and offers a true relaxing country atmosphere to revitalise the soul. Adventurous activities include bird watching, horse riding, hiking, biking, fishing and just being in nature. The town prides itself on its offering of local produce and crafts and boasts many art galleries, museums, unique shops, fine restaurants, pubs, a chocolate factory, a wine route, olive farms and even handcrafted cheeses.

The wineries on the Tulbagh wine route add its own charm and tradition to the region. Many of these farms have been in the same family for generations. The route also includes a few micro-producers and boutique wineries.

Follow the N1 through the Hugenote tunnel (one of the latest and longest in Africa) on a satisfying and “wide-open” drive to Worcester, the gateway of the Breede River region. This beautiful town lies between the Breede and Hex rivers and is surrounded by the Brandwacht, Overhex and Langeberg Mountains. Worcester is the largest town in the Breede River region and also the last big town as you approach the Karoo on your way north.

Getting around in spacious Worcester is a true pleasure. The wide streets, easy layout, influences of neo-classical architecture, well maintained gardens, ample parking and friendly locals, will really make you feel welcome. With the recent addition of the large Mountain Mill Mall, Worcester is now a central hub for industry, training, shopping and tourism.

Worcester is ideally situated to explore the surrounding towns, vines and valleys of Rawsonville, Botha, De Doorns, Ceres and Robertson.

Worcester is the “capital” of the largest wine producing area of the country. The region boasts a flourishing wine industry which dates back 250+ years. From here many award winning wines find their origin before they are shipped to grace dinner tables throughout the world. The region is home to some of the country’s largest wine exporters. Tasting and buying wine is a big activity and past-time for tourists to the region and both Olof Bergh Solera Brandy Cellar and the KWV Brandy Cellar offer tastings at their cellar door.

Major events include: Autumn Splendour Festival in De Doorns (May), Soetes & Soup in Breedekloof valley (July), Breedekloof Outdoor & Wine Festival (October).
