Fairview and the Spice Route nestle on the outskirts of the old town, and are popular due to the attractions of being a working goat cheesery and an artisanal cove of amongst others, a brewery, chocolate makers and grappa distillery. The town is home to the world renowned K.W.V. who host a slick tasting room experience. The village of Franschoek is 15 minutes away and is idyllic for a meander, with antique shops in abundance .

There is also a number of renowned M.C.C.( S.A. version of Champagne) producers such as Simonsig and Villiera.
