A Splendid Cape Journey!

Witzenberg, a mere hour and a half’s drive away from Cape Town on Route 62, is nestled in the Cape Winelands district and consists of five gems, namely Ceres, Tulbagh, Wolseley, Op-die-Berg and Prince Alfred’s Hamlet.

This picturesque valley is not only the origin of the best of South Africa’s deciduous fruit and wine products, but among the produce nurtured in Witzenberg are olives, grain, beef and pork.

The offering of things to see and do includes the historical Church Street, blockhouses and watershed. For the outdoor enthusiasts, Witzenberg offers hiking, 4x4, abseiling, fauna and flora, fresh water fishing, mountain bike trails, San Rock paintings, Game and Nature Reserves, stargazing, cherry picking in Mid-November to Mid-January and snow during winter.
