The Cape of Good Wine: Exploring the Cape Peninsula Winelands

The Cape of Good Wine: Exploring the Cape Peninsula Winelands

Most visitors to Cape Town know of the winelands of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek, but few think to explore what’s all but staring them in the face: Look closely as you explore the Mother City and you’ll find trellised vineyards right in front of you. There’s the tiny Clos d’Oranje above the City Bowl, a scrap of vineyard near Kalk Bay Harbour and, of course, the manicured vines of Constantia. And that’s just for starters. The area is becoming such a key wine-making region that the industry recently established the Cape Peninsula wine ward to designate wines crafted from grapes grown here.
