A visit to the Cape Winelands should also be included on any itinerary to the Cape region. Rolling vineyards and quaint Cape Dutch homesteads lie amongst majestic mountain backdrops and mirror like lakes. A great idea is to meander along a well designated “wine route” within one of the famous regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Wellington or Paarl. All these regions offer award winning wine and excellent cuisine set amongst magnificent scenery.
