Explore the beauty of the Swartland Santam Wine Route. It's different and you'll enjoy great wines as well as true Swartland hospitality - all within easy reach of Cape Town.
The route stretches from the Paardeberg in the south to the Berg River in the north, and encompasses the beautiful Riebeek Valley, Malmesbury, Piketberg and Porterville.
This unpretentious wine route is widely considered the undiscovered gem of the South African wine industry and its 20 members include co-operatives, private cellars, wine makers and merchants.
The open spaces and rolling hills of the Swartland seem to stretch forever and the locals, well, they really are something else.
The area offers balmy autumn days, a wide range of accommodation options, restaurants and outdoor activities.
Wine and olive tastings are free of charge.
