Wine Routes of Durbanville

Discover the Durbanville Wine Valley – Where City Meets Serenity

Nestled just 20 minutes from the heart of Cape Town, the Durbanville Wine Valley offers a seamless blend of urban convenience and countryside charm. Here, rolling hills covered in vineyards stretch towards Table Mountain’s iconic silhouette, creating a wine experience that is both scenic and soulful. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning your journey, Durbanville welcomes you with open arms and world-class wines.

A Valley of Boutique Experiences

Unlike the sprawling wine estates of Stellenbosch, Durbanville’s wine route offers a more intimate experience. With only 13 boutique wineries, you’ll enjoy personalized tastings, often guided by the winemakers themselves. Each estate has its unique flair – from modern tasting rooms with sweeping mountain views to rustic cellars brimming with character.
