194  THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN C APE

Exploring the Cape Winelands

After Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and Cape Point,
the Winelands are the Western Cape’s most popular attraction.
The towns of Stellenbosch and Paarl are famous for their
elegant, gabled architecture. Viewed from majestic mountain
passes, the vineyards of Worcester and Robertson fit together
like puzzle pieces, and Franschhoek has an exquisite valley
setting, beautiful Cape Dutch architecture and some of the
best restaurants in the country.
