This is the beating heart of the winelands. A historic student town,that has managed to retain its links to the past. With over 150 wineries, the choices are endless and possibly even daunting. Many have top class eateries which complement the wines produced. The mountains serve as a perfect backdrop to these farms often nestled on the slopes of Simonsberg. It is highly recommended that one consider visiting the state of the art Tokara establishment or the centuries old Rustenberg. If time allows, a meander through the centre of the town will enable you to browse the art galleries or visit the historic buildings. There are also many accommodation options including the regal Lanzerac hotel or a number of boutique hotels.
