Cape Winelands Outrides

Join us on a Cape Winelands outride, only an hour’s drive from Cape Town and about 30 minutes from the Cape Town International Airport. The little hamlet of Simondium lies at the upper point of a triangle with Stellenbosch and Franschhoek on the R45 and is surrounded by natural beauty in its glorious valleys and majestic mountains, making it a nature-lover’s dream.

The town has fast earned a reputation with regards to its cheese, wine, and outstanding brandies. If you’re looking for a more rustic, off the beaten track type experience, then this little village is a must see!

It is absolutely stunning and a true jewel of the Western Cape!
