SA BRANDY
THE WORLD’s finest
Been there, seen that, done it all when it comes to the Cape Winelands? Then take the road less-travelled to explore brandy - the country’s iconic elixir - at its source. The world’s finest brandies, a wealth of brandy styles, as well as secrets and stories wait to be unearthed on two unique tourism routes dedicated to the brandy distiller’s art. Both take you on a personal journey through the heart of wine country. But, this time, when you embark on the Western Cape Brandy Route or explore the R62 Brandy Route in the hinterland of Cape brandy-making, you may just forget the wine and focus on the brandy. Not really such a big leap; brandy is made from wine, after all.

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 galleries, craft, interior and antique shops. There is always something to do in Frans-chhoek and major events include the Franschhoek Harvest Festivals (February & March) , Literary Festival (May), Bastille Festival (July), Franschhoek Uncorked (September), Open Gardens Festival (October), Cap Classique & Champagne Festival (December).

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 valley. 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. 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.

Incl. Hermon, Malmesbury, Piketberg, Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West
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 area offers peace and serenity and is the perfect place to escape from the ratrace and wind down.
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 Tourism Bureau 022 913 2063 www.piketberg.com
Malmesbury, considered the heart of the Swartland, boasts majestic mountains, rolling wheat and canola fields in the summer. It is a vibrant and bustling community and the largest of the towns in the Swartland area. The twin towns of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West, situated 4km apart is a hub for painters, writers and artists and is well known for its superb wines and olive products. The Riebeek Valley (as this area is also referred to) boasts breathtaking scenery and offers a myriad of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and bird watching. 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.
