Cape Town: Constantia Winelands

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Steenberg, known as Swaaneweide in 1682, is almost certainly the oldest farm in the Constantia valley, even older than Groot Constantia. In the early days table grapes were its main export. The history of this farm is virtually inseparable from that of a formidable woman, Trijin Ras. The homestead we see today was built in 1740. Since 1988 Steenberg has been known for its upmarket golf estate, restaurants and wines.

2. Groot Constantia stands as a pinion of excellence for the wine industry and is an ideal example for the preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of the country. It is a fully operational wine farm. Constantia products were praised by, among others, Napoleon, Bismarck and Louis Philippe of France.

   2 h

3. Constantia Glen is located below, Constantia Nek. It is a picturesque boutique wine estate which produces ultra-premium, cool climate wines. Their tasting room offers amazing wine accompanied by delicious platters or main courses at your choice.

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
