Savour Award Winning Wine In The Cape’s Grandest Estate
The moment you enter Groot Constantia wine estate you’ll realise you’re in for a unique experience. This is the South Africa’s oldest wine producing estate, established by Simon van der Stel in 1685, and it is a certified national monument. What awaits you is a captivating culmination of South African heritage, delectable dining at two restaurants, a museum, art gallery, and, of course, an award-winning selection of wines, all available for tasting. The dramatic oak-lined avenue takes you directly into the Historical core of the estate, where you’ll find the 17th century Manor House, arguably the finest surviving example of Cape Dutch architecture in South Africa, and the view from in front of this grand old homestead will most certainly put you in the perfect mind-set to experience what is easily the Cape’s finest estate.

How to Experience Groot Constantia
Groot Constantia’s Visitor’s Route is a result of years of hard work and extensive planning. The attraction is a slightly recent addition to the estate which is a family-friendly self-guided tour, which follows a specially designed circular route through Groot Constantia’s key attractions. Here’s how to experience Groot Constantia.
Cape Point on your bucket list
Named the ‘Cape of Storms’ by Bartolomeu Dias; the ‘Point’ was treated with respect by sailors for centuries. By day, it was a navigational landmark and by night, and in fog, it was a menace beset by violent storms and dangerous rocks that over the centuries littered shipwrecks around the coastline.
TAP into your thirst at the Table Mountain Cableway
TAP, the bar at Table Mountain, is a refreshing new addition to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway where locals can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view with an ice-cold Newlands Spring beer. TAP will become the bar of choice for anyone in Cape Town looking for a new place to unwind while enjoy some spectacular views of the city.
