The World's Longest Wine Route
South Africa’s ever-changing scenery provides the perfect backdrop for an adventure-packed journey, whether you’re a wine connoisseur, a nature lover, or a traveler in search of hidden gems.
Stretching 850 kilometers, South Africa’s Route 62 is the longest wine route in the world, offering a breathtaking journey through the heart of the country. Connecting Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, this historic inland road winds through the Cape Winelands and the Klein Karoo, providing a more scenic and less commercialized alternative to the famous Garden Route.
Route 62 unveils the raw beauty of South Africa, leading you through dramatic landscapes, charming small towns, and world-renowned vineyards. It’s a road trip designed for travelers who seek authentic experiences, unique flavors, and the allure of the unexpected.
Your adventure begins in Cape Town, where the lush suburb of Constantia invites you to explore some of the world’s best wine estates. As you venture beyond, the famous wine regions of Paarl, Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch await, offering remarkable wines, breathtaking mountain landscapes, and world-class dining experiences.
Moving past the well-known wine regions, the route takes you off the busy highways and onto quieter scenic roads, leading through Tulbagh, Wellington, and Ceres. From there, you’ll meander through the fruit-growing towns of Robertson, Ashton, McGregor, and Montagu, each offering a taste of South Africa’s rich agricultural heritage.
Once you arrive in Barrydale, you’re officially on Route 62, where the road leads to: ✔ Calitzdorp – Famous for its rich port wines ✔ Oudtshoorn – Home to the world’s largest ostrich farms ✔ Port Elizabeth – A coastal gateway to adventure
