This area is often overlooked as people make a beeline for the wine farms around Stellenbosch and beyond. Just 20 minutes from most Cape Town hotels, Constantia valley is situated in a rural and mountainous setting on the slopes of Table Mountain and although close to the city, you feel a world away.
Situated in a rural and mountainous setting on the slopes of Table Mountain, although close to the city, you feel a world away.
The farms vary greatly and no farm is more than 5 or 10 minutes from the next with many linked by cycle and hiking tracks. This maximises time out exploring, so if a lot of your holiday has been in a 4x4 safari vehicle or sightseeing around Cape Town, this allows for a day mostly spent on the farms and not in a vehicle.
To get a perspective on the valley this adventure starts at Beau Constantia, located high on the slopes of Table Mountain. We will break into the wine tasting at ease, learning about how the different tastes come from the different soils and exposure.
For a sense of history we’ll pay a visit to Groot Constantia before heading to Bistro 1682, which is located on the Steenberg Wine Estate, the perfect spot to relax in a suntrap in most weather conditions.
We will then head to Cape Point Vineyards. Just over the mountain from the Constantia Valley, the Vineyards have a commanding view down to Cape Point and the most impressive panoramic Atlantic sea view. You will then head over Chapman’s Peak Drive with its 114 curves skirting the rocky coastline linking Noordhoek with Hout Bay, this 9km route is the most famous coastal road in South Africa and is renowned as being one of the most spectacular routes in the world.
We will visit Llandudno Beach, the most beautiful beach in Cape Town for sundowners before heading back to base.
