A delight for all your senses, the Cape Winelands takes you through some of the loveliest landscape in South Africa. Add to that world-class cuisine and wine and you have an unbeatable combination. The defining towns of this region are Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. In addition to its fame as a wineland center, Stellenbosch is also a major university town and known for its classic whitewashed Cape Dutch cottages and elegant Georgian town homes. A village green surrounded by oak-lined avenues completes this story book setting. Paarl is cradled in the picturesque Berg River Valley between the Paarl Rocks (the second largest granite outcrop in the world) and the towering Du Toitskloof Mountains. A visit to the nearby nature reserve with scenic walks and drives is a wonderful addition to this bustling town. Franschhoek is nestled in the lovely Valley of the Huguenots amidst spectacular mountains. This charming village, known for its fine dining, is also home to the Huguenot Monument and Museum as well as several galleries and shops.
