The biggest and best known wine producing region in South Africa, the Cape Winelands is more commonly referred to at "The Boland", meaning "uplands" in Afrikaans. It is divided into six main regions- Constantia, Sellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Robertson, and Wellington. Cape Winelands has become a major destination for tourists from all over the globe.
Hundreds of winemakers and grape producers are located in the Cape Winelands. A huge variety of wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, are produced here as well as the South Africa classics— Chenin Blanc with flavors of yellow apples and jasmine and Pinotage with sun-kissed berry flavors often with hints of roasted herbs and smoke.
The Cape Winelands are home to the world's longest wine route, Route 62. Its rich cultural landscape was added to the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list in 2004. Wines from this route are best consumed with grilled meats and seafood.
