Southern Suburbs
Constantia
The oldest vines in the south
Leafy avenues, historic homesteads and some of the oldest wine estates in the Southern Hemisphere — ten minutes from the mountain.
Constantia is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the Southern Hemisphere, with a legacy reaching back to the 17th century. Historic homesteads and Cape Dutch architecture sit beside modern wineries.
Taste crisp Sauvignon Blanc and velvety Merlot among the vines, eat at farm-to-table restaurants, and walk the Constantia Greenbelt.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden lies close by on the slopes of Table Mountain.
