Groot Constantia Celebrates Tourism In Cape Town

THIS September and October, South Africa's oldest wine-producing farm, Groot Constantia, invites you to let your wanderlust run wild and be a tourist as you explore all that Cape Town has to offer.

Cape Town is a city bursting with culture, history, and natural beauty. One of the best ways to experience this is by visiting the Cape Town Big 6. These six attractions are some of the city’s most popular places, including Table Mountain Cableway, Robben Island Museum, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, V&A Waterfront, Cape Point, and Groot Constantia. Each of these offer a unique experience, from hitching a ride on the cable car to the summit of Table Mountain, to learning about the history of South Africa at the Robben Island Museum and exploring diverse food flavours at the V&A Waterfront.

 

“We are thrilled to be celebrating what it means to be a tourist in the Mother City!” says Jean Naudé, CEO of Groot Constantia. “Globetrotters, day-trippers and digital nomads can easily combine a trip to Groot Constantia with visits to other iconic Cape Town attractions for an epic experience.”
