Vingårde i Cape Winelands

Wineries & Vineyards

The Cape Winelands feature a concentration of historic estates spanning Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Tulbagh. This selection highlights specialized producers, from Kanonkop’s traditional Pinotage and Krone’s Méthode Cap Classique to the high-altitude vineyards of Delaire Graff. Many of these sites, such as Rustenberg and Twee Jonge Gezellen, maintain 17th and 18th-century Cape Dutch architecture. Visitors can explore unique facilities including underground maturation cellars at Weltevrede and contemporary art galleries integrated into boutique estates like Holden Manz.
