Somerset West is one of the Western Cape’s most established wine-growing regions, with vineyards stretching across the slopes of the Helderberg and Schaapenberg mountains. Influenced by cool sea breezes from False Bay and a variety of soils and elevations, the area is known for producing excellent red and white wines. This guide lists wine farms in and around Somerset West, including tasting venues, restaurants, accommodation and cellar experiences.

Curious about how wine is made? Discover the journey from vineyard to bottle, including grape varieties, harvesting, fermentation, ageing, bottling and the history of winemaking in the Western Cape
