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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

62
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.

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.

The estate practices sustainable agriculture to ensure that the healthiest fruit is grown and harvested.

Wellington boasts about twenty declared National Monuments and offer beautiful architectural jewels such as Cape Dutch homesteads, Victorian mansions, the museum, grand halls and colleges. The history of Wellington shows that the French Huguenots were first to settle here in the 17th century.

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.
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.
