When one reflects on the splendours of the Cape – lush green valleys, rugged mountains, azure seas and sky - then the Cape´s winelands are usually top of the list. Visitors pour into the Cape to experience our viticulture, restored Cape Dutch farmsteads with their distinctive gables and thatched roofs, and the mountains that form the dramatic backdrop to all of this. The Cape winelands are some of the most scenic in the world and wine tourism is one of South Africa´s fastest growing industries.
