Cape Town is a gorgeous city that offers so much to travelers that visit each year.  Below are our favorite experiences in and around this incredible metro.  This part of the world truly is a wonderland of beauty and experiences not to be missed

Typically 3-4 wine estates are about the most you can visit in a day depending on a) if you have a driver and b) what time you start wine tasting.  After about the fourth wine estate, one usually can?t appreciate the sophistication of true wine tasting, if you know what I mean.
Durbanville Hills and Constantia are the closest to downtown Cape Town if you have a short stay in the city.  They both provide quality wines and picturesque estates.  However, if you have an extra day or so, we recommend visiting the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek area, which are the more well-known regions for South African wines and are quite popular with locals and tourists alike.  Each offer their own quaint town center with shops and restaurants and again, if you have the time, are a must see.  Both of these areas are about a 45-60 minute drive from Cape Town.  As a couple that have visited 32 different wine estates throughout the Western Cape, and being wine lovers, we would recommend staying a night or two in or around these areas so you can make the most of your experience.
