Wine enthusiasts can tap into the variety and quality of the Cape Winelands with a guide that makes Cape Town’s celebrated wine routes more accessible.

The Winelands Wonders guide, launched by the City of Cape Town, offers a Google Map with detailed information on the Cape’s wine regions and an interactive WhatsApp channel for visitors looking to explore around 40 wine farms across three iconic routes: Constantia in the Southern Suburbs, Helderberg (a sub-route of the Stellenbosch Wine Route), and the Durbanville Wine Valley.

The City of Cape Town’s Economic Growth Directorate launched the comprehensive guide for the “seasoned connoisseurs or those simply curious” about exploring the city’s winelands.

Users can explore the map to uncover wine farms in the Constantia, Durbanville, and Helderberg regions. Or click to access a pre-populated WhatsApp message to discover more.

Cape Town, as a cosmopolitan city, offers an exceptional wine experience right on the city’s doorstep.

Visitors can explore the city’s oldest wine farm along the Constantia route, experience a more modern approach along the Durbanville route, or treat their taste buds to the Helderberg as an introduction to the ever-popular and expansive Stellenbosch route.

Constantia Wine Route: The Cradle of South African Wine

Visit iconic estates like Groot Constantia, which has a rich winemaking legacy and is renowned for its Sauvignon Blanc and dessert wines.

Durbanville Wine Route: A Blend of Innovation and Heritage

Groot Phesantekraal Farm is one of the farms carving a modern niche for itself along the Durbanville Wine Route, showcasing a harmonious blend of contemporary winemaking techniques, a mastery of Pinotage, South Africa’s signature grape, and a deep respect for heritage.
