What to do and Where to stay in
Cape Winelands

Wine-tasting is obviously a central attraction to the region and informative maps are available locally, providing details of which vineyards are open for tasting and when.
Generally there is a small fee and sometimes there are also tours of the wine-making process and cellars.

If you are concerned about the enjoyment and patience of the younger members of your party, you could choose a wine-tasting tour by horse drawn carriage! We also recommend a visit to Fairview, which is also famous for its cheeses. Residents of the Goat Tower, when not being milked, are on hand to entertain the children whilst you sample the latest vintage of ‘Goats do roam’!

The area also hosts a wide range of ‘animal’ attractions including a Cheetah Outreach project in Somerset West and Eagle Encounters, a bird of prey rehabilitation centre, at Spier Village.

Other non-wine related attractions in the area include a Huguenot Fine Chocolates, the Toy and Miniature Museum, and the Drakenstein Lion Park.
