In the town of:

Vredendal

It is a scenic drive from Cape Town on the N7 heading North. With the Olifantsriver almost as your guide, you watch the beautiful landscape that surrounds you. Two and a half hours later, turn left at Klawer to witness the river spills out in the sea at Papendorp.

This is agricultural land, an area rich with wineries and opportunities to support it's farming community.

During the flowering season, carpets of purple, yellow, orange and a touch of white, spread along the road. As you drive through Vredendal, with one of the world's most modern Grape Juice Concentrate Plants, you substitute the wine area for the beautiful West Coast.

Strandfontein, including Doringbaai, is a getaway to total tranquillity, a fisherman's dream.

Three hours away from Cape Town two world's meet, leaving you as traveller with a feeling of breathlessness, unable to express in words what you see.

Vredendal is also home to the 'Rittelfees', an Afrikaans festival with some of South Africa's best Afrikaans artist performing on stage.
