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 eco-conscious 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.

The Swartland gets its name from the Renosterbos (indigenous fauna) that turns black after the winter rains and is also considered the bread basket of the Cape due the large scale cultivation of wheat in this area.

The region spans from Malmesbury, Piketberg, Darling to Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel. The area has vast open spaces planted with wheat, canola and vines.

The Swartland has something for all travellers from leisure to adventure activities, accommodation, fantastic restaurants and culinary establishments as well as various wine routes.

Piketberg, lying at the foot of the Piketberg Mountains was established in 1836. You can see beautifully restored cottages in the old part of town as well as the old cathedral-like church.

The area is unique insofar that the Piketberg Mountain stands alone and is surrounded by three towns. The area offers peace and serenity and is the perfect place to escape from the rat-race and wind down.
