Cape wine lands.

The Cape Wine Lands & Wine Routes.


			Wine Route. Cape Town.










	The fertile green valleys of the Cape's wine lands are surrounded by proud mountain ranges. The wine lands offer not only a very wide selection of excellent wines and beautiful scenery but a rich and hospitable culture. The Towns and villages have many historic homesteads and monuments, and every so often fruit orchards are to be seen, whose produce may be found in all corners of the world. It is the Mediterranean climate and winter rainfall area of the south-western Cape that produces some of the best wines in the country. The rich, fertile soils along the Breede River and especially the areas of Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, have become world famous for their whites, reds, sherries, ports and brandies. The Wine routes provide an opportunity to taste, appraise and compare a variety of wines. The Stellenbosch Wine Route is the best known in South Africa, incorporating 22 private cellars and co-operative wineries, all within 12 km of Stellenbosch and about 35 minutes from the Beach House. The Constantia Wine Route is the oldest in the South Africa and just round the corner (8 min drive) from Sunset Beach House at the base of the Silvermine Mountains.
