Cape Winelands Loop

The three great Cape wine towns in a loop from the city — Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl — each with a different character and lunch stop.

Full day150 km loopBest: Either

Our take

Do all three wine towns in a day if you must, but Franschhoek is the one to stay for.

What's worth stopping for

Not everything along the route — only what's worth sacrificing vacation time for.
