Wine tasting in Durbanville

The Cape's cool-climate coastal ward - 20 minutes from the city.

Durbanville is the Cape's quiet cool-climate ward, tucked into the hills just twenty minutes north of Cape Town and cooled every afternoon by the Atlantic. It has become a serious wine destination in its own right - a compact cluster of family-run farms producing some of South Africa's most consistently celebrated Sauvignon Blanc, alongside crisp Chenins, Merlots and elegant reds. Distances between estates are short (most are within a ten-minute drive of each other), the views over Table Mountain are extraordinary, and the tasting rooms lean relaxed rather than formal. It's the ideal region for a half-day outing when Stellenbosch or Franschhoek feel too far.
