Somerset West, home to a number of wineries, is one of the most beautiful and most popular in the Western Cape. While you’re near a dip in the natural beauty of your trip designed to generate at least part of the vineyard in the region and discover the wines here.
Franschhoek is one of the best wine regions in the world. The fertile soil in this region was first used by the French wine production 300 years ago. Today, the noble tradition continues with the first departure of the Huguenots. There are more than twenty wineries in the region, many of which are among the most respected in South Africa. We offer many good as the white Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Semillon wines to rich and vibrant reds like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Most plants like the warmly welcome visitors to enjoy the tasting.
Paarl Vinters is another area that deserves a visit if you’re a wine lover. The wines are produced in this region, especially the red and the area became known as the red route. Some of the best red wines of the world are produced here because of the ideal terrain, microclimate and tradition in dark red.
Although wine is certainly not a significant part of the region, there are many other activities and attractions to enjoy while in Somerset West. Spend a pleasant afternoon in Schreuder House, a museum village of thatch, that some of the major stylistic periods over the last three centuries represented. The museum was actually one of the first dozen houses that are formed as the pioneer settlement was founded. Currently, admiration on the eve of the Revolution, but also of French neo-classical and even a Victorian building typical of the late 19th century. A toy and a mini-museum and worth a visit for young and old alike.
The botanical garden is a must in the gardens of the oldest university in South Africa. The native and exotic plants are placed in the museum of desert plants and herbs, orchids and lilies. Many plants in the gardens are very rare, so this is definitely worth a visit to Somerset West.
Finally, be sure to remove one of the oldest building the Cape, Groot Constantia. The manor was assigned in 1685 to Governor Simon van der Stel. The daily life of today, the 19th century. The collections include Delft pottery and wooden furniture Cape of mid-18th Century. Drinking and storage vessels in a variety of materials from the year 500 BC, included in the Wine Museum. Cellar tours and tastings are within the complex, while two restaurants on site at both Cape cuisine and continental dishes to offer.
