Ceres is fruit country. This fertile valley is the biggest producer of deciduous fruit in South Africa. Along the Ceres Fruit Route, visitors can tour orchards and fruit-packing houses. The Dwars River, which flows through the town of Ceres, is great for trout fishing. Ceres is surrounded by mountains and only accessible via mountain passes. The mountains offer various hikes and walks and in winter, the higher mountains are sometimes coated with white snow.
