With so many wine farms and wine tasting experiences available in Cape Town, we are spoilt for choice. Tourists and locals alike travel far out into the winelands to sample the exceptional flavours imparted from our terroirs, into the grapes, which create tastes unique to the Cape. What they don’t know is that they can experience spectacular wines right here in the city centre too. Here are a few spots around town to get your wine-snob on.
