Klein Karoo

The Klein Karoo Wine Route in the Southern Cape is arguably the most diverse of South Africa’s wine regions. Stretching along the Route 62 from Montagu in the west to the Langkloof in the east, it encompass the towns of Montagu, Barrydale, Ladismith, Calitzdorp, Oudtshoorn and De Rust. Situated between spectacular mountain ranges, its vines are mostly grown on the high slopes in the fertile alluvial soil along the riverbanks. The climate is generally drier than that of the other wine regions, resulting in healthy vineyards which are grown organically to a large extent.

More than just an excellent range of wines, the Klein Karoo Wine Route offers visitors its unique cuisine, the warmth and hospitality of its people, and the mystique of its landscape.
