Groot Constantia Wine Cellars (Constantia)

Overview of the Groot Constantia Wine Cellars

Commander Simon van der Stel of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) arrived at the cape supply station in 1679. Back in the Netherlands, van der Stel had gained a solid background in viticulture at his vineyards in Muiderbergh.

The Groot Constantia Wine Cellars offers visitors guided wine making tours, wine tasting and a restaurant and beautiful scenery.

Review of the Groot Constantia Wine Cellars

Groot Constantia has some of the most incredible scenery to take photographs of. The sloping hills and vineyards just makes you want to stay there forever.

The wine tour educates visitors about the wine making process, and the included wine tasting gives you an overview of the excellent wines produced by the wine estate.

Although we didn't eat at the restaurant, it was packed and the food looked good.

Don't forget to buy a bottle of wine as a souvenir before going home!
