This area is 70 km southeast of Cape Town, just beyond the Hottentots-Holland Mountains. This region is one of the more intensively farmed districts which produces 60% of the national apple crop. A recent economic shift means Elgin is also becoming one of the country's most notable and successful wine regions. This is because Elgin has the coolest climate of any region in South Africa. Hence Elgin wines and tourism have consequently become significant parts of the valley's economy.

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.
