Mapped: New Guide Showcases Cape Town’s Best Wine Routes

Wine enthusiasts can now tap into the variety and quality of the Cape Winelands with a new guide that makes Cape Town’s celebrated wine routes more “accessible.”

The Winelands Wonders guide, launched by the City of Cape Town, offers a Google Map with detailed information on the Cape’s wine regions and an interactive WhatsApp channel for visitors looking to explore around 40 wine farms across three iconic routes: Constantia in the Southern Suburbs, Helderberg (a sub-route of the Stellenbosch Wine Route), and the Durbanville Wine Valley.

The City of Cape Town’s Economic Growth Directorate launched the comprehensive guide earlier this week for the “seasoned connoisseurs or those simply curious” about exploring the city’s Winelands drawcards.

Users can explore the map below to uncover wine farms in the Constantia, Durbanville, and Helderberg regions.  Or click to access a pre-populated WhatsApp message to discover more.
