The Klein Karoo Wine Route in the Southern Cape is home to the most diverse wine regions in South Africa. The easternmost wine-producing region in the country stretches along Cape Route 62 in the west to the Outeniqua in the east, making it the longest wine route in the world.

Most of the vineyards in the Klein Karoo are planted on the upper slopes in the rich alluvial soil along riverbanks. Most are grown organically due to the relatively drier climate.

The renowned route winds through quaint towns and vineyards, offering a unique and historic journey of South Africa's winemaking tradition. Exploring this tradition here promises an unforgettable experience.
