This Tourism Month, discover a different side of the Cape Winelands through the people, stories and flavours that make the region what it is.

In Franschhoek, Klein Goederust is doing just that.

Led by Paul Siguqa, Klein Goederust is a 100% Black-owned w**e estate where w**e is only part of the experience. Set on a farm dating back to 1905, the estate brings together w**e, South African culture, generous hospitality and good food.

There is a tasting room and restaurant housed in a restored historic building, where visitors can enjoy a lamb-on-the-spit buffet alongside the estate’s w**es. A newly built cellar adds to the experience, with accommodation currently under construction.

What makes Klein Goederust particularly memorable, however, is the story behind the place.

Paul believes w**e tourism should give visitors the chance to connect with the person making the w**e, the food on their plate, the land beneath their feet and the culture that gives a destination its character.

“The w**e is important, but it is also the doorway into the people, the stories, the food and the culture behind it”.

And that is the beauty of exploring the Winelands. You can come for the w**e and discover so much more along the way.

From Constantia and Stellenbosch to Franschhoek, Paarl, Robertson and Hemel-en-Aarde, the Western Cape’s w**e regions each offer their own landscapes, flavours, heritage and stories.

As Paul puts it: “The Winelands is a living story that continues to evolve, it is a place unlike any other in the world”.

Come taste a little of that story for yourself.
