Expert tip

When visiting Cape Town, you have to make time for the Cape Winelands! It's only an hour's drive from the city to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, which are home to beautiful vineyards and unique Cape Dutch architecture. Personally, I think it's one of the most beautiful wine regions in the world, and the dominant wine here is Syrah, which is one of my favourites.
