 There are many wine estates around Cape Town and the Western Cape . CLIFTON ON SEA’s holiday accommodation South Africa allows you easy access to these world-class cultivars – each with their own distinct nose, color and taste. These are the main wine producing regions:
Wine Estates– Stellenbosch
This picturesque university town, the second oldest town in South Africa, has legendary wine estates nestled in its lush, fertile valleys. The oak-lined streets lead to where some of South Africa’s most celebrated wines are carefully grown and nurtured. Visit the estates, go wine tasting, and walk through historic Stellenbosch with its museums, galleries, student cafes and restaurants. The Stellenbosch wine estates are a 45-minute drive from Cape Town.
Wine Estates – Franschhoek
Franschhoek is deemed by many wine connoisseurs as one of the principal destinations in the wine-making world. First used for wine production more than 300 years ago by the French Huguenots, the Franschoek Wine Route is now home to twenty-one wine farms. Franschoek is filled with guesthouses, antique shops and restaurants to satisfy any craving for fine cuisine. The area’s mountains, streams and valleys make it ideal for horse riding, leisurely walks and relaxing picnics.
 Wine Estates – Paarl
Only 56 km from Cape Town , Paarl offers not only famous winelands, but also historical charm, culture, architectural heritage and breathtaking scenery. The Paarl wine district lies to the north of Stellenbosch. Observe the wine-making process, from the vineyard to the bottle. Visitors are able to meet the wine makers personally, and may even get to share a glass or two with them. Enjoy a leisurely stroll amid vineyards, and enjoy a picnic and a bottle of wine at one of several resting spots along the way.
Wine Estates – Constantia
A mere 25-minute drive from your beach house rental in Cape Town, the classic Cape-Dutch style wine farms on the Constantia Wine Route are easily accessible. Taste the wines of the seven wineries on the wine route while marveling at the beautiful views of curving country roads, majestic mountains and towering trees.
 Wine Estates - Durbanville Hills
Durbanville is one of the smaller wine producing areas in the Cape Town metropolitan area. The contemporary estate produces wine that mirrors the unique terrain, moderate climate and excellent wine-making. Durbanville Hills Winery draws its grapes from a group of neighbouring farms, selected for their outstanding quality crops. The wine growers are all shareholders in Durbanville Hills and together they strive to produce the best possible grapes for world class wines.
