About Cape Winelands
In 1652 the Dutch East India company established a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope aiming to provide fresh food to the company's fleet on voyages to India and surrounding areas. As a result of this trading station South Africa now boasts a flourishing wine industry and colourful, multi-cultural nation. When the first settlers arrived, governor Simon van der Stel awarded them land where they could farm for their own needs. When more and more settlers fromGermany,Franceand theNetherlandsarrived — some of them experienced winemakers — they discovered that the hills in this region were ideal for growing vines.
