About

It’s with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 14th edition of this wonderful little guide. It has been a tough year for all but, when the going gets tough, the Overberg winemakers pour their hearts and souls into making fabulous wine!

Whether you are a connoisseur or a quaffer, the Overberg is a magical wine-country-tourism destination with diverse regions waiting to be discovered. From the cool climate of Elgin, to the warm Bot River wine route; from the maritime climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley to the richness of the Stanford valley; and then onwards to the windswept plains of the Agulhas region – you will find an array of fascinating wine destinations here. The region’s different terroirs will spoil you for choice in its diverse variety of wines and, between tasting, you can glory in beautiful coastal vistas, mountain ranges, soft gentle valleys and long rolling hills with huge skylines.

Come and relax in the beautiful Overberg. There are so many places to accommodate you, from top-notch hotels to lovely guesthouses offering the best in hospitality. Enjoy the many eateries, festivals and country markets. The region is rich in offerings: you can take a hike or a walk, swim, cycle, attend one of the many musical events regularly presented, visit art galleries, or just sit back and relax with a glass of superb Overberg wine in your hand.

Cheers!
