All about wine - Constantia Wine

Constantia Valley is the birthplace of the wine farming industry in South Africa. In 1865, the first Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, chose this beautiful valley with its moderate climate and rich soil for his farm, Constantia, where he started viticulture and made Constantia wines world famous.

Until today, Constantia is acknowledged to be the most perfect wine-growing area in South Africa. Due to prime conditions, superb red and white wines, and wonderful dessert wines such as fine Cap Classiques are produced. Constantia’s world-class wines win accolade upon accolade for their excellent quality.

All of the 5 Constantia estates are also well-worth a visit for their beautiful setting and surroundings.
