Cape Town

ape Town is the southernmost metropolis in South Africa,

C

placed at the confluence of the Atlantic and the Indian oceans,

with a history of winemaking that stretches back over three-and-a-half centuries. Its pleasant Mediterranean climate makes it a perfect destination for year-round breaks, and the international attractions of Cape Town are complemented by many diverse winegrowing regions within easy reach of its beaches, restaurants, and iconic Table Mountain. Wine tourists can explore the stunning scenery of Stellenbosch and Paarl, the gourmet secrets of Franschhoek, or the great outdoors of the Klein Karoo and the majestic Cederberg mountains. Most wineries - from traditional Cape Dutch gabled buildings to architecturally-designed contemporary spaces - offer cellardoor experiences, gourmet restaurants, well-stocked boutiques and tailored winetasting experiences. To complete the South African visit, luxurious game reserves are a short flight away.
