Want to experience some of the best wine estates Cape Town has to offer? Then Durbanville wine route is a not-to-miss place in Cape Town. The area between Durbanville and Bloubergstrand is often called “Sauvignon Blanc Country”. Located just 30 kilometers from the city center Durbanville is a good alternative to the wine farms of Constantia for wine tasting. The residential suburb on the northern outskirts of Cape Town is surrounded by beautiful wine farms. The wonderful estates in the rolling hills of this hilly wine-producing area can be visited as a day trip from Cape Town.
Amazing views of Table Mountain is one of the highlights on the Durbanville wine route
The Durbanville wine farms offer some of the best views of Table Mountain available, an excellent backdrop for tasting some top quality wines. Located in the heart of wine country with vineyards planted as early as 1702 Durbanville is one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the country. The location results in a cooler climate and yielding a very different style of wine made on the Durbanville wine farms than on the famous neighboring wine farms of Stellenbosch with its hot climate and resulting wines. In this article we look at how to go wine tasting around Durbanville; the fantastic wine farms, specific wines, some great food pairings, excellent estate restaurants, and some awesome activities not to miss.
Wine tasting Durbanville – how does it work?
The wine farms on the Durbanville wine route that offer wine tasting all have a dedicated tasting room with well trained staff to tell you about the wines and assist you with the tasting. The average price of tasting ranged from R50- R90 per farm and generally includes tasting of 5 wines per farm. We found the tastings here cost a bit more than on some other wine routes, but includes more wines. This is an important fact to consider when planning your route, if you self drive I will recommend not more than 3 farms on a day.
Many tasting venues are beautiful with fantastic views of the Durbanville Wine Valley, False Bay, or Table Mountain. There are some great restaurants located on some of the wine farms offering a variety of awesome food experiences, so stopping for lunch is a great idea. We love food-wine pairings and there are some unique offerings by some of the Durbanville wine farms. You can combine a visit to the wine farms with a trip to Namaqualand during the flower season.

Tips for tasting in the Durbanville Wine Valley
- Tasting venues get very busy on weekends and public holidays, I prefer to go in the week.
- The water in the area is brackish, some farms offer mineral water for sale, you can buy water, drink brackish water or bring you own.
- Share a tasting, if you just want to taste the wines I found one tasting is plenty for two people and buy a bottle of your favorite to take home.
- Book your tasting if you are a group, go tasting on a weekend or holiday or if you have a specific request.
- Try some of the food pairings, there are some interesting food pairings on different farms that bring out unique characteristics from these excellent wines.
- Explore the estate restaurants, most of the farms have fantastic restaurants with amazing views and top quality food.
- Bring the kids, some of the farms cater for the whole family with massive lawns, big playgrounds, cycling routes and great pizzas.
The Wines of Durbanville
Wine tasting in Cape Winelands is definitely one of the main things to do in Cape Town. Out of several wine areas, Durbanville is famous for excellent Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux blends, and Pinotage wines made from grapes grown in this cooler region.
Sauvignon Blanc is definitely the cultivar to focus on in the area and there is even a yearly Sauvignon Blanc festival to celebrate the fantastic Sauvignon Blanc wines made here. The terroir is perfect for growing this amazing white grape; cool south easter wind in summer time, clay soil and off course innovative wine makers together produce distinctive Sauvignon Blanc wines with aromas of green fig, tropical aromas of grenadilla, guava and mango, and some grassy, herbaceous, vegetative characters.
If you want to taste something truly South African Durbanville is a must-include in your Cape Town itinerary. The Durbanville wine route is a great place to taste Pinotage, another signature cultivar in the area. This uniquely South African grape variety was created in Stellenbosch in 1925 by Prof Abraham Perold, the first Professor of Viticulture at Stellenbosch University. Prof Perold made Pinotage by crossing two grape varieties, Hermitage (now called Cinsaut) and Pinot noir. The aim was to create a great wine-producing grape like Pinot Noir that grows as well as the robust variety Cinsaut. The cool winds and clay soils of the valley lead to the production of unique cool climate Pinotage wines in a different style than the Stellenbosch area.
A Bordeaux blend is a red wine mainly composed of the classic Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with smaller portions of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The area is known to produce some excellent red wines and some award winning Bordeaux’s are often delivered by the Durbanville wine valley.
I noticed a couple of estates on the Durbanville wine route producing Pinot Noir wines. The French region Burgundy is probably the best-known region for this cultivar in the world. This fickle, thin-skinned grape is not widely grown in South Africa. The Hemel and Aarde Valley around Hermanus are best known for producing excellent Pinot Noir wines. If you visit the valley between August and October you can combine wine-tasting with whale watching in Hermanus.
Several Cap Classique winemakers throughout the Cape use Pinot Noir. The cooler region here is well suited for producing Pinot’s and the wines we tasted were nice with lots of red fruit flavors.
Excellent cool-climate examples of Chardonnay, Shiraz and Merlot are also produced on the farms in the Durbanville wine valley.
If you enjoy fruity Chennin Blanc wines I will recommend you visit the Breedekloof Wine Route, the farms on this off the beaten track wine route produces amazing Chennins. The scenery in the Du Toitskloof mountains is fantastic and on these less touristy estates, you can still meet the winemaker and have a more intimate experience.
Durbanville Wine Farms
1. Durbanville Hills
The award winning Durbanville Hills is probably the best known winery on the Durbanville wine route, located only about 20 minutes drive from Cape Town’s city center.

Seven prominent grape growers in the Durbanville district teamed up with Distell to build the Durbanville Hills cellar and make their own wines; today they are nine partners. Some of these farms started producing grapes in the early 1700’s, but the first vintage of wine produced in Durbanville Hills was in 1999.

2. Klein Roosboom
For a unique wine tasting experience on the Durbanville wine route don’t miss Klein Roosboom Wine Farm. The boutique winery describes itself as ‘Cape Town’s best kept secret’, I am not going to argue with them. It is difficult to stand out on this wine route; blessed with excellent terroir, many farms producing phenomenal wines, plenty of great views of Table mountain and many high quality restaurants. The wine tasting in old cement fermentation tanks turned into private little tasting rooms, beautifully decorated is a truly special experience at this wine farm. They extend the unique experience to Jéan Restaurant where you can have a table set inside the vineyards of Klein Roosboom.
Wine tasting at Klein Roosboom
I really enjoyed the wines made by Karin De Villiers, winemaker and owner at Klein Roosboom winery. Most of the wines were named after a family member with letters written to that specific person as back labels, take some time to read them, it is really nice. You have three tasting options; a white wine tasting with 3 wines, red wine tasting 3 wines or a ‘Best of both worlds’ tasting with 6 wines. If you want something to nibble on there are some nice platters available; a ‘plaas plankie’ spring tasting plate or double cheese platter. You can also order a picnic basket for 2 packed with goodies to enjoy somewhere on this beautiful estate.
The wines at Klein Roosboom are great, but the star of the tasting was the experience of the private tasting in the old fermentation tank uniquely decorated. Each room is an old concrete wine vat converted into a stunning little tasting room. You can still experience the wine and see and feel old wine crystallization on the walls.
Every room is uniquely decorated with a different theme. Other than the wine tank rooms there are tables inside and outside for tasting. The tasting was well presented by the friendly, knowledgeable staff. It gets busy on weekends and in season, so if you want a cosy private wine tasting room at these times book your Klein Roosboom wine tasting ahead.

When it comes to amazing views of Table Mountain, seeing our favorite mountain behind the vineyards of the Durbanville wine valley from the wine farm De Grendel was our number one choice. This beautiful venue is still a real farm, driving to the tasting room you pass cattle grazing on flower strewn meadows. De Grendel is blessed with sea views, cool ocean breezes and misty nights; perfect conditions for producing top quality Sauvignon Blanc wines. The farm was bought by businessman and politician Sir David De Villiers Graaff in 1890, Grape vines were grown for the first time on this breathtaking wine farm in 1800, its award winning wine making history however starts fairly recent when a later generation Sir David Graaff planted vines on De Grendel in 1999.

Meerendal is one of only a few wine farms in South Africa that can claim it has been bottling wine under the current name of the estate for more than 50 years. The farm is more than 300 years old and the first grape vines were planted here in 1714. Until 1969 all the wine however went into nameless barrels at the KWV cooperative cellar. In 1969 a Shiraz and Pinotage was bottled under the Meerland brand. Meerendal was one of the first farms to plant Pinotage and today they produce Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinotage, Shiraz, Merlot, and Pinot Noir grapes and wines.

Owner Bernhard Veller and his wife bought the piece of land in 1990 not knowing much about farming or wine making. Together with a farm worker named Klaas, Bernard planted their first vineyards in 1992, planning to just make a couple of barrels of wine. Three years later they won their first awards for excellent Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon wines and today they are recognized as one of the best boutique wineries in the Cape. Danie Keulder was the winemaker at Nitida untill recently and has also produced some excellent reds with award winning Merlot and Pinot Noir vintages.
