Explore the Cape Whale Coast Wine Routes

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, head towards Hermanus, which is a central point for accessing the Cape Whale Coast Wine Routes. From Hermanus, take the R43 road heading east toward Stanford. As you leave Hermanus, look for signs indicating the various wine estates along the route. Popular stops include the Creation Wines and the Ataraxia Wines. Make sure to have a map or GPS device ready since some wineries may not be directly visible from the main road.

• Public Transportation

  If you're using public transport, start by taking a bus from your location in Overberg to Hermanus. Companies like Greyhound or local bus services operate in this region. Once you arrive in Hermanus, you may need to arrange for local taxis or rideshare services to visit specific wineries. Always check in advance for availability and costs of these services as they may vary.

• Bicycle

  For the more adventurous traveler, consider renting a bicycle in Hermanus. The area is bike-friendly, and you can explore the wine routes at your own pace. Be sure to wear a helmet and carry water, as some stretches may be longer than anticipated. Note that some wineries may charge a tasting fee, so it's good to have cash on hand.

• Tour Packages

  Another option is to book a wine tour package, which often includes transport from your accommodation in Overberg. These guided tours typically cover several wineries and include tastings, so you won’t have to worry about navigating or designated drivers. Prices for these tours can vary significantly, so check reviews and make sure to book in advance.
