The semigration trend of people moving to the Western Cape is as strong as ever. The province recorded the highest increase in sales activity in smaller towns between 2019 – 2023, compared to Gauteng and KZN.
We’re not surprised that people love living here. Last year, the province won 8 awards at the World Tourism Awards. If the Western Cape is the crown of the provinces, the Cape Winelands region is the jewel that sits on top of the crown.
This area boasts not only some of the finest wine farms in the world but gives residents access to the famous golden mile and its world-class dining experiences, proximity to excellent educational institutions, unique plant life, breathtaking nature and an abundance of outdoor activities.
The Cape Winelands is world-renowned for the wine that’s produced here. There’s something unique about South African wines. Between the soils, sunshine, pristine air, rainfall, and a temperate climate, they offer subtle bursts of taste that reveal their origin. Add the alchemy of the winemaker and the result is a taste of the good life.
There are an estimated 550+ wine farms spread across the region, which includes the towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, and Robertson. Pinotage is in fact a red wine grape variety that’s unique to South Africa.
Avec la Terre is centrally located between Franschhoek and Paarl, assumed to be the second oldest wine region in South Africa. It’s known for its rich, full-bodied wines. Some of the most popular wineries in the area include Laborie Wine Estate, Klein Parys Vineyards and Fairview Wine and Cheese.
The food culture of the Cape Winelands is world-class and gives foodies an opportunity to experience a mix of local and international cuisine. The region's focus on fresh, seasonal produce is evident in the dishes produced. Wine farms often have their own vegetable and herb gardens, ensuring the highest quality farm-to-table experiences.
The winelands have a host of top-notch educational facilities, which cater from infant all the way to university-level. The schools in the area produce some of South Africa’s top sporting stars. For those seeking the highest echelons of academic success, Stellenbosch university is a short drive away.
The Cape Winelands offers a variety of activities set in the most beautiful natural locations. Many wine farms have scenic hiking trails that meander through vineyards, offering breathtaking views and opportunities to spot local wildlife. Some trails might even lead past historical sites or hidden waterfalls.
The area also offers plenty of mountain biking, road cycling, e-bikes, horse riding, hot air balloons and fishing opportunities. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, or something a little bit calmer, you can find it all right here.
