But do not be mistaken in thinking that winter means the Cape Winelands goes into hibernation or that Mother Nature takes time off! The mild autumn weather brings with it a kaleidoscope of scenic experiences with the changing, rich, earthy colours, while winter often sees the mountain peaks capped in snow.
Indulge yourself with a visit to our world-class wellness centres and spas for the best treatments available or try more unconventional methods and visit a Sangoma, a traditional healer, who will use their age-old expertise to heal your ailments with traditional herbal remedies or throw the bones to foretell your fortune.

Adrenalin adventure aside, its also all about the following: Indulgence of Body & Soul; Food & Wine Taste Sensations; Celebrating Democracy & the Freedom of our People; A Journey into History & Culture; Freshest Local Produce! Weve roped in the support of the Cape Winelands Ambassadors (you can see some of them in the above image). Theyre doing a great job speaking out about these themed Cape Winelands experiences.

Its a world of olive farms, hand-crafted cheeses, wide open skies, craggy mountain passes and the jealously guarded Fynbos Floral Kingdom. Pinot Noir honey, country farmstalls, hand-blown glass even our very own wire-work Prince!

Round off the experience following the footsteps that set former President Nelson Mandela (a.k.a. Madiba) on his final path towards freedom.
