Stanford Foothills

Located in the Cape Overberg, just a two-hour drive from Cape Town, the quaint coastal town of Stanford is home to just ten wineries, ranging from well-known estates to micro, garagiste-like producers. Visitors are attracted to rustic country cuisine, a laid-back village atmosphere, and a peaceful landscape. Accommodation options vary from luxurious to cozy, and the recently launched Stanford Wine Route welcomes more visitors to explore and appreciate these coastal wines. With vineyards situated on sandy dunes and rocky mountain slopes, the region produces award-winning cool climate wines. Additionally, some farms offer crafted beers, infused gins, and grappa-based liqueurs, providing a diverse tasting experience for visitors. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the Klein River, home to the shortest river in the world (in terms of distance). Maanschijn’s (LINK HERE) humble winery and vineyard is based here, directly off a beautiful saltwater lagoon.
