Constantia Wine Route

Constantia Wine Route

Firstly a little history on the Constantia area; Simon van der Stel the Governor of the Cape at the time named his farm "Constantia", he planted vineyards around 1682 and thus making this the oldest wine producing area in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are nine wine farms in this region of Cape Town that is only 15 minutes drive from the city centre with each farm offering fantastic views, fabulous wines with some wineries even offering Brandies, Gins and Grappa's, all the while not forgetting some of the best restaurants in the country.

For some reason, the Constantia wine route plays second fiddle to the Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch wine routes. We at Uyaphi would like to try and change this, by offering our clients the best of both routes. We are doing this by providing photo galleries on each estate as well as our own opinions.

Our team has been given the hard task of going out to the surrounding wine estates to taste some wine and photograph the surrounding beauty. The below photographs are a result of those excursions.

Cape Town Wine Tasting

    Buitenverwachting Wine Estate
    Buitenverwachting is a stunning destination not only for wine tasting but picnics, photography and of course one of the finest restaurants in South Africa. Buitenverwachting offers up Red and White wines as well as Brandy, Gin and sometimes Grappa.

  • Steenberg

    Steenberg Winery
    Steenberg established in 1682 is probably our favourite spot in the Constantia Valley. Great wines (Red and White) as well as some of the best MCC Wines (Sparkling wine) in the country including two excellent restaurants, i.e. The Bistro 1682 and Catharina's.
