In 2019, we found the little hidden gem in South Africa, the Elgin Wine Valley. The wine region Elgin is located between Cape Town and Hermanus and has delicious white wines, with their climate and the misty mountain elements they produce crisp Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc’s. They have ventured into Pinot Noir and some wine farms are able to produce some full bodied red wines.
From the wineries we visited in 2019 we have selected our 5 favorites. Our 5 best wineries in South Africa 2019 are

Durbanville Hills Wine Farm
Read moreThe unique location of Durbanville Hills’ cellar a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, offers not only a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Table Bay, but also an extraordinary terroir that stabilises temperatures and eliminates extremes of heat and cold. Although the Durbanville area is renowned for its SAUVIGNON BLANC that excels under the cool conditions where it is grown mostly on the cool south facing slopes, the range of RED WINES also benefit from the warmer valley outskirts and opposing northern slopes.
