When considering touring Cape Town you might want to hire your own car giving you all the flexibility you need. Cape Town car hire is the only way to go. There is so much to see and do in and around Cape Town. Located on the hills of the Constantiaberg, Buitenverwachting is a highly regarded winery with a selection of outstanding wines. The estate is part of the illustrious Constantia Wine Route and is also well known for its first-class restaurant.
The beauty of Constantia Uitsig is just one of its many attractions. The scenic estate crafts well respected wines and is something of a hospitality centre with a hotel, spa and three restaurants on the property. The on-site Wine Shop does wine tastings and sells brandies, wines, olive oils and wine accessories. The Constantia Uitsig Hotel has 16 garden rooms to choose from, a Spa offering treatments and therapies, La Colombe Restaurant known for its excellent food overseen by chef Luke Dale-Roberts and so much more. Groot Constantia is the mother of winemaking in South Africa. Under vine for over 300 years, the estate produces a number of premium wines and is a fascinating and beautiful place to visit. You have to make your way to: The Manor House: a cultural history museum, The Cloete Cellar: displays a variety of drinking vessels and wine making equipment, Tasting Cellar: at the entrance to the estate, Simon’s Restaurant: Friday nights are band nights and a jazz band plays on Sunday afternoons from 4:30pm, Jonkershuis Restaurant: Cape Malay and classic cuisine with views of False Bay and vineyard picnics: arranged with Groot Constantia at least 24 hours in advance, picnics are made up on-site.
The scenic Klein Constantia estate is situated on the foothills of the Constantiaberg with magnificent views of the valley and False Bay. The vineyard is famed for its “Vin de Constance”, a recreation of the legendary “Constantia” written about by authors including Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Also produced on the farm is an excellent selection of white and red wines.
