Experience the wonders of THE CONSTANTIA WINE TOUR and beauty that lies within the Cape Winelands
The Constantia Wine Tour offers a unique wine experience in the first and most historic wine region established outside of Europe.
Established in 1685, Constantia wine became world famous during the 18th and 19th centuries. Beloved by Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte, eulogised by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott and Baudelaire, Constantia set a unique milestone as the first wine from outside of Europe to enjoy world-class status.
Blessed with a regular winter rainfall that makes irrigation unnecessary, Constantia is fanned by cool Atlantic breezes during the summer months on either side of its peninsula setting. Besides the granite-based soils that Simon van der Stel identified in the 1680s, Constantia also has substantial deposits of sandstone on clay, ideal for releasing moisture in the dry months. From this terroir, Constantia can produce a remarkable variety of wines. Overseas visitors are often amazed to find that the great varieties of Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhone and Rhine all flourish side by side in Constantia. The result today is a wine harvest that appeals to every palate and taste.
