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.

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 galle-

ries, 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.

Hermanus and Stanford is part of the Cape Whale Coast and is approximately 120km from Cape Town.

Its location is particularly well-known as the best land-based whale watching site in the world (June to November). Hermanus is also home to the world’s only Whale Crier, who patrols the cliff paths signalling whale locations by using his kelp horn.

Hermanus produces some world famous wines in the Hemel-en-Aarde area. This is one of South Africa’s most picturesque wine routes and offers a cool maritime climate for the production of unique varieties and interesting blends.

The area is proud to have the first UNESCOdeclared Biosphere Reserve in Southern Africa. The Fernkloof Nature Reserve is home to more than 1600 identified species of indigenous fynbos. The reserve offers hikes, a mountain bike trail, a wheel chair path, some wildlife and bird watching. The reserve offers true beauty and botanical significance.

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.

Paarl Restaurants

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.

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.

Saxenburg Wine Estate

Stellenbosch

It is a picturesque wine estate featuring breath taking views over the Table Mountain, a game farm, a guest house, the Guinea fowl bistro/wedding venue and is in close proximity to Cape Town. From a wine making perspective it is unique, being able to produce both excellent white and red wines.

With oceans on both sides, the cool sea breeze is perfectly suited to the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc process, as it acts as a cooling system to the vineyards while the sun on the hillside ripens the grapes to create the velvety taste that has become synonymous with Saxenburg’s red wines.

Somerbosch Wines

Stellenbosch

‘Die Fonteine’, home to Somerbosch Wines is relaxed and intimate, as you’d expect from a working farm that’s been in the hands of the winemaking Roux family for more than half a century. The farm is situated in the Helderberg area of the Stellenbosch region. The cool Atlantic sea breeze combines with other terroir elements on the farm to develop the complex nature of Somerbosch wines. “Above all, we’d like customers to have as much fun drinking our wines as we have making them!” say Marius, Japie & Wrensch.

Thelema

Stellenbosch

In 1983 Gyles Webb and his wife’s family bought a run-down fruit farm on the southern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, overlooking the town of Stellenbosch. A winery was built, and the orchards made way for vineyards. This family owned and operated wine estate rapidly made a name for itself with classic dry, minty Cabernet Sauvignons. The estate practices sustainable agriculture to ensure that the healthiest fruit is grown and harvested.

After the eventual establishment of the town in 1840, the name was changed to

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.

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.
