Did you know the region around Cape Town, South Africa has been a big wine-producing area for centuries? A wine-making hub, the greater Cape Town area is chock full of vineyards…hundreds of them! Cape Town makes the perfect home base for side trips to the Cape Town wine country and beyond.
Since the 1600s, people have been making wine in the Cape Town wine country. The Cape Dutch architecture at the vineyards is as beautiful as the rows of wine grapes, which seem to flow endlessly into the horizon. There are a total of eight wine estates in the region known as the Constantia Valley, only a thirty minute drive from the center of Cape Town, South Africa. One is the Constantia Uitsig wine estate, where they also serve excellent food at their garden restaurant.
