Cool marine breezes are the key to the vineyards of the Overberg – an area “off the beaten track” where some of the best wine in the country is produced. The cooler sea breezes in this “southernmost region” of Africa create best conditions for Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay – and many other varietals.

Wine lovers might know names like Hamilton Russell, Newton Johnson, Bouchard Finlayson or Raka Wine Cellar but there is so much more to discover.

Wine tastings, Restaurants, Saturday morning markets, vineyard walks – the natural beauty of “Hemel and Aarde Valley” provides the perfect environment for a journey into wine and food experience.

Being a little off the usual wine routes will make your welcome on each cellar door so much warmer and sincere.
